Heart Transplant - Ray Stevens

Heart attack number two, thought he was a goner

Then he heard the doctor say, «Ooh, we got a donor

If we hurry, we just might be able

To get him on that operating table»

Yeah, «shh» goes the scalpel

And «prrt» goes the needle

And presto, what do you know?

He’s fit as a fiddle

Ooh, got a transplanted heart

He got a brand new start

Yeah, he may be aided too, but he’s as good as new

He’s a new man with a secondhand organ

A transplanted heart

A brand new part

Yeah, thanks to the doctor’s knife, he got a new lease on life

But his troubles are about to start

Tell you what I mean

Well, his heart is young, his heart is strong

His heart wants to rock and roll all night long

But his body takes all kinds of persuasion

Yeah, his heart’s a swinger, his heart is tough

His heart finds all kinds of female stuff

But he just can’t get his body to rise to the occasion

Well, his heart goes

(Pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump)

And his body goes

(Slump, slump, slump, slump, slump, slump)

Yeah, his heart says (Go, go)

Body says (No, no)

Let’s go on a bender (I surrender)

Charge (Retreat)

Well, his heart says, «Come on, let’s have a ball»

But his body says, «Hold it, pal, that’s all»

And this developed into an awkward situation

Got a transplanted heart

He got a brand new start

Yeah, he may be aided too, but it’s as good as new

He’s a new man with a secondhand organ

A transplanted heart

Yeah, a brand new part

Well, thanks to the doctor’s knife, he got a new lease on life

But it’s just about to tear him apart

Tell you what I mean

He met a gal, she was sweet

She really swept him off his feet

He fell, hmm, and he couldn’t get up

Oh, she kissed and whispered in his ear

Sweet nothings designed to put his motor in gear

But all he could do was just lie there like a lump

Yeah, his heart goes

(Pump, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump)

And his body goes

(Slump, slump, slump, slump, slump, slump)

Well, his heart says (Go, go)

His body says (No, no)

Let’s go on a bender (I surrender)

His heart wants to dance and make romance

But his body says, «Sorry, pal, no chance

I just ain’t got the jump to get you over the hump»

Got a transplanted heart

Yeah, a brand new start

Well, he may be aided too but it’s as good as new

He’s a new man with a secondhand organ

A transplanted heart, ooh, a brand new part

Yeah, thanks to the doctor’s knife, he got a new lease on life

And it’s just about to tear him apart

Got a transplanted heart

Hey, he got a brand new part

Well, he may be aided too, but it’s as good as new

He’s a new man with a secondhand organ

A transplanted heart
