lyrics

A TAX ON HEALTH
Chorus
Don’t go to the doctors’
The surgeries full of snot,
Lots of folk with coughs and colds,
You’ll catch the blooming lot.

In days gone by the doctors
Came to you at home;
Saw you in your sick bed.
You didn’t have to roam.
But now you have to crawl along
On your hands and knees
To the doctors’ surgery
Where everyone’s got a sneeze.
All packed in together,
Fellows in misery,
Sharing the germs between them
Where everything is free.
Chorus
When you’ve staggered to the surgery,
It’s full of tiny tots
Running wild and hollering.
You don’t know what they’ve got,
Nits or the measles,
Chicken pox or mumps.
When you’re at home next week
You’ll be scratching
And coming out in lumps.
Chorus
Surgeries are social, Communal, no rank,
It’s good to share your germs
When that’s all you’ve got in t’bank.
It’s part of the doctors’ business plan.
It’s good to share your wealth.
It keeps their business going,
A sort of tax on health!

Don’t go to the doctors’
The surgeries full of snot,
Lots of folk with coughs and colds,
You’ll catch the blooming lot.
