Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] Dr. [C]Benway is operating in an auditorium [Bb]filled with students. [F]Now, boys, you[G] won't see this operation performed [Bb]very often. [B]There's a reason for [Gm]that. [G]You see, it has [C]absolutely no medical [F]value. [G]No one knows what the purpose of it originally [C]was or if it had a purpose at [G]all. [C]Personally, I think it was a pure artistic creation [Gm]from the beginning. [F]Just as a bullfighter [Dm]with his skill and [C]knowledge extricates himself in danger. [B]He has himself invoked. [F]So in thi[G]s operation the surgeon deliberately endanger[C]s his patient and then, with [G]incredible speed and celerity, [F]rescues him [C]from death at the last possible split [G]second. [F]Did you ever see Dr. [C]Tetrazzini perform? [B]I say perform advisedly because his oper [Bb]ations were per[G]formances. He would [D]start by throwing a scapel across [G]the room into the patient and [C]then make his en[Bb]trance like a ballet dancer. [F]His speed was incredible. [C]I don't give them time to d[G]ie, he would [F]say. [C]Tumors put him in a frenzy of [G]rage. [C]Fucking undisciplined cells, he would snarl, advancing on the [Bb]tumor like a knife [F]fighter. [G]The young [Eb]man leaps down into the operating theat[F]er and whip[C]ping out a [Bb]scapel advances on [G]the patient, [F]and es [G]pontaneo, stop him before he guts my patient. Espon[F]taneo is a bullfighting term for a member of the [Bb]audience who leaps down into the r[F]ing, [C]pulls out a concealed cape, and attempts a few [F]passes with the bull before he's dragged [Em]out of the ring. [F]The orderly scu[B]ffle with the espontan[G]eo is [Bb]fi nally ejected fr[F]om the hall. The anes[G]thetist takes advantage of the con[B]fusion to pry a large gold filling [Bb]from the patient's mouth.
