C. Everett Koop :
I was the very model of a U.S. Surgeon General,
I've information credible, medical, and logical,
I was the man of Reagan's, and my message not political,
From smoking on to drug abuse, my findings scientifical,
I understand the questions, both the simple and the radical,
Partial-birth abortions I'm clashing with a lot of views,
With many shocking facts about the state of America's youth

All:
With many shocking facts about the state of America's youth
With many shocking facts about the state of America's youth
With many shocking facts about the state of America's youth

C. Everett Koop:
I put warnings on the cigarettes, low fetal weight and birth defects
As they may cause emphesema, lots of unwanted side effects.
"The call for euthanasia surfaces in our society,
As it is doing now under the guise of death with dignity";
I can tell Kevorkian's patient's medical atrocites,
I know the quacking doctors by their lack of Oath of Hippocrates.
They can pull the feeding tube when the patient is brain dead of course,
I'll chuckle off the critics their eternal nonsense heard before.

All:
He'll chuckle off the critics their eternal nonsense heard before.
He'll chuckle off the critics their eternal nonsense heard before.
He'll chuckle off the critics their eternal nonsense heard before.

Me:

C. Everett Koop:
In fact, I know just what is meant by " endorphin " and " insulin",
And if you don't heed my words you can notify the next of kin,
When such affairs as morbid obesity I don't aim to please,
And do I know precisely what is meant by " responsibility ? ",
When I had learned what progress has been made in modern surgey,
Well I know more of practice than a master of anatomy--
In short when I'm communicating a fundamental strategy,
There'll never be a Surgeon General that is as good as me

All:
There'll never be a Surgeon General that is as good as me
There'll never be a Surgeon General that is as good as me
There'll never be a Surgeon General that is as good as me

C. Everett Koop:
Graduated Dartmouth college, M.D. Cornell University,
Has only been my life from the beginning of eternity,
But still, in matters credible, medical and logical,
I was the very model of a U.S. Surgeon General

All:
But still, in matters credible, medical and logical,
He was the very model of a U.S. Surgeon General
