Working Where The Sun Don't Shine" (The Colorectal Surgeon's Song)

We praise the colorectal surgeon

Misunderstood and much maligned

Slaving away in the heart of darkness

Working where the sun don't shine

Respect the colorectal surgeon

It's a calling few would crave

Lift up your hands and join us

Let's all do the finger wave

When it comes to spreading joy

There are many techniques

Some spread joy to the world

And others just spread cheeks

Some may think the cardiologist

Is their best friend

But the colorectal surgeon knows...

He'll get you in the end!

Why be a colorectal surgeon?

It's one of those mysterious things.

Is it because in that profession

There are always openings?

When I first met a colorectal surgeon

He did not quite understand;

I said, "Hey nice to meet you

But do you mind? We don't shake hands."

He sailed right through medical school

Because he was a whiz

Oh but he never thought of psychology

Though he read passages.

A doctor he wanted to be

For golf he loved to play,

But this is not quite what he meant...

By eighteen holes a day!

Praise the colorectal surgeon

Misunderstood and much maligned

Slaving away in the heart of darkness

Working where the sun don't shine!
