Flying Doctor

He sneaks through the door of the surgery

He's got the drug cabinet key

He did something funny and he tied up his arm

It's just the flying doctor, no cause for alarm

He sprinkled out a powder and spread out a line

He sniffed it up his nostril and he's feeling so fine

Feeling so fine, it feels like he's flying

Feeling so fine, it feels like he's flying

His receptionist saw him, it certainly shocked her

She said "Look out, you'd better duck

Here comes the Flying Doctor"

Out in the outback, there's been an outbreak

And the Flying Doctor's got nothing to take

He went to the cabinet and the cabinet was bare

His eyes dilated, you can see by his stare

Called up his base on the radio

He said; "My supplies are running low

They're running low, you can see where they go

They're running low, I see where they go"

Out in the outback with my Percival Proctor

Look out you'd better duck

Here comes the Flying Doctor

He's got the cabinet key

The cabinet key, the cabinet key...

"This is the Flying Doctor calling Wallarolla base

Wallorola base come in please...

I want to talk to you about my drugs situation...

My drug situation is rather tight...

About as tight as a kangaroo's khyber, I'd say"

Cabinet key, cabinet key...

"Wake up! – One, two, three, four..."

A Sheila in the bush by a Koolahbar tree

Needed an urgent appendectomy

The Flying Doctor like a true Australian

Performed the operation with a sardine can

He made a rough incision and tried to chew it out

He had no anaesthetic, so she started to shout

She started to shout, when he was chewing it out

She started to shout, he tried to chew it right out

He balled up his fist and scientifically socked her

Look out you'd better duck

Here comes the Flying Doctor

Cabinet key, cabinet key, cabinet key...
