Lyrics from Video Clip:

I am the very model of an anesthesiologist
I’ve Surital, and Seconal, and Pentothal upon my list
Plus vinyl ether, Halothane, and even trichloroethylene,
With cyclopropane, nitrous oxide, oxygen on my machine,
While Xylocaine, and Novocaine, and Carbocaine, and Pontocaine,
Are local anesthetic drugs injected to abolish pain.
Regarding easy general or spinal anesthesia….
Anesthesia? HMMMMM!
I’m sure you’ll find this anesthesiologist will please-ee-yuh.

(Chorus)
We’re sure you’ll find this anesthesiologist will please-ee-yuh.
We’re sure you’ll find this anesthesiologist will please-ee-yuh.
We’re sure you’ll find this anesthesiologist will please-ee, please-ee-yuh.

I have a thoughtful interest in scientific history.
The actions of most anesthetics aren’t any mystery.
In short in subjects of the sort that’s suited to this specialist,
You’ll say I am the model of an anesthesiologist.

(Chorus)
In short in subjects of the sort that’s suited to this specialist,
He is the very model of an anesthesiologist!
