The Lyrics

My wife took the farm, and shirt off my back
Ain't got nothing but my bones, she left me jack
I'm gonna enlist, be a Starfleet quack
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Well a shipboard kinda life often does me some harm
Transporter be malfunctionin' and beams us down unarmed
My days are all filled with a red alert alarm
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Well I got my own sick bay, on deck twelve near the middle
Turbo lift takes me up, when the handle I twiddle
Life ain't much without a nurse or two to diddle
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

When the duty shift's done and now it's time to go
I pull out my bottle and I drink it nice and slow
The lounge is closed up, so I head to decks below
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

I'd drink Romulan ale all day if I could
But the cap'n and my liver wouldn't take it very good
So I drink up anyway, replace it when I should
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Well I got me a good life, I shouldn't really quibble
Though post-divorce, I don't have a pot in which to piddle
Life ain't nothing' but a couple thousand tribbles
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Well I wouldn't trade my life for a planet-side gig
I never did want to be hospital big-wig
I'd rather have my sickbay and my deck nine digs
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Yeah, new recruits flyin' an Excelsior class
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's so badass
Scotty will tell ya they should scrap 'em all en masse
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Well I got me a phobia of teleport transmittal
When they say "Energize" I get scared just a little
Reconstruct me from source molecules, well it'll
Make a new Doctor McCoy

Well, my tricorder was daddy's till the day he died
And I used it for a while but the circuits got fried
Now I've got a newer model that Starfleet supplied
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

My daddy taught me young how to cook and play poker
Taught me how to hustle so I seemed just mediocre
Taught me to cook southern beans with whiskey as a soaker
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Well dammit I'm a doctor, not a busboy or bricklayer
Not a bartender, janitor, pimp, or town mayor
Not a coal minor or planet site surveyor
Thank God I'm Doctor McCoy

Only quibble, no reference to Spock, so heres a spare stanza .... Well I know me a Vulcan who sometimes belittles .. Outbursts of emotion for Spock are a riddle ... Wasnt in cast when he earned his ACQUITAL .. But now, Im Doctor McCoy

As long as you're amenable to suggestion, here's one about Spock .. Thank God I'm a Vulcan Boy!
