AMATEUR TRANSPLANTS: Anaesthetists Hymn LIVE

Everybody wonders what the anesthetists to do while the patient is sleep,

Everybody wonders what we do for 3 hours while that machine goes beep,

Everybody reckons that we drink coffee, and we gossip and we’re generally subversive,

Everybody reckons that we do crosswords, and sudoku and chat up all the nurses


But do you really think that’s all we do?Well, let me tell you now that it isn’t true…

Coz we sometimes check the screen, And every now and then, we write stuff,

And if we have to insert veins,We inject a bit of white stuff


And we all often alter the light,Or the height of the bed,

Or fiddle with the radio or change the CD,

We even check the patient occasionally


And if they move, we turn up the vapour,And then we go back to reading the paper,

Coz when the patient’s asleep,We just sit and listen to the beep,We just sit and listen to the….


Once upon a time, I took pride in my job, But now, I think it’s time to depart,

Coz I just sit here everyday, And listen to the blips of the heart.
