[Verse 1]

I went to see a rabbi

But despite his advice

I want an operation

I will not father life

[Chorus]

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

[Verse 2]

They send me to a preacher

A really thoughtful guy

He said my idea's crazy

I shouldn't even try

[Chorus]

This operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

[Verse 3]

But I've just seen a surgeon

And with a knife he cut

I cannot bring you children

This world is such a rut

[Chorus]

Beside this operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

[Verse 4]

I had an operation

A statement of our times

They tied my balls together

What's inside's not alive

[Chorus]

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

[Chorus]

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie

Operation, operation

Snip & tie, snip & tie
