[Parody] Pirates of Penzance - With Cat like tread

A parody I wrote from the perspective of a surgeon who performs illegal organ harvesting. The lead surgeon 's name is Dr Yamaha, because he sells organs (badumtsh).
I do wish I wrote it a few years earlier, because it would have been perfect for Pirates of Cardiology: Dead Man's chest. The original song is pure entertainment as well.





Original song lyrics:
Parody:
Pirates:
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard
Surgeon:
With dodgy meds
Upon patients we heal
With suture thread
Your organs we may steal
We paid off all
our massive uni debt
Wonder how we afford
Mansions, yachts and jets?
Police:
Tarantara, Tarantara.

Pirates:
So stealthily the pirate creeps
While all the household soundly sleeps
Patients:
Tarantara, Tarantara.

Surgeons:
So stealthily the doctor creeps
While all the patients soundly sleep
Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary
Come friends, in surgery
Need no permission
Before the first incision
Let’s take a new kidney
With a little burglary
Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary
Har-vest, illegally
Need no permission
Before the first incision
Let’s take a new kidney
With a little burglary
Samuel:
Here's your crowbar
And your centre bit
Your life preserver
You may want to hit
Dr. Samuel:
Here’s your scalpel
Slice dice cut and stitch
Someone get more ice
We will all be rich
Your silent matches
Your dark lantern seize
Take your file
And your skeletonic keys

With Cat like tread
In silence dread
The HLA matches!
With more greed we seize
half the liver
and just for kicks a teste!

Needle and thread
No consent said
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard
With skills from med
Upon patients we steal
In silence fled
Into black-markets we deal
You'll wake up sore
Weight less than before
A few more scars
Pays for my five new cars
Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary
Organs, I need money
Pays for vacations
kid’s private education
You’ll have no memories
Because we used roofies!
With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
Infected you with strep,
You likely feel unwell.
But you already had hep
So half-price the organs sell
Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary
Thank Gray’s, for anatomy
An organ extraction
For cash transaction
Let’s Ignore Hippocrates
Did he have a ferrari?
With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
Just rest in bed
Your liver will re-heal
In silence fled
With rich old men we deal
Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary

With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
You’ll live, I guarantee
Oops there’s complications
Major perforation
You have my sympathy
Oh well more parts for me

They are now dead
I did not want to kill
In silk threads
Cry in my stack of bills
Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary

With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
Grand theft autopsy
Pays for litigation
Get off on probation
Oh god these lawyer fees
It’s straight up burglary!

With suture thread
More organs we will steal
All this cash
With rich old men we deal (heal!)

This was written with Amy, Scott, & Monish, for their closing song in their Med Revue. I'll try and upload a video of the performance when I can



Original Lyrics
Parody
I Took My Baby
On A Saturday Bang
Boy Is That Girl With You
Yes We're One And The Same

Now I Believe In Miracles
And A Miracle
Has Happened Tonight (hee)

But, If
You're Thinkin'
About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

They Print My Message
In The Saturday Sun
I Had To Tell Them
I Ain't Second To None

And I Told About Equality
And It's True
Either You're Wrong
Or You're Right

But, If
You're Thinkin'
About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

(Don’t you bet!) (heeehee)
I Am Tired Of This Devil
I Am Tired Of This Stuff
I Am Tired Of This Business
So When The
Going Gets Rough
I Ain't Scared Of
Your Brother
I Ain't Scared Of No Sheets
I Ain't Scare Of Nobody
Girl When The
Goin' Gets Mean

[L. T. B. Rap Performance]
Protection
For Gangs, Clubs
And Nations
Causing Grief In
Human Relations
It's A Turf War
On A Global Scale
I'd Rather Hear Both Sides
Of The Tale
See, It's Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I've Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I'm Not Going To Spend
My Life Being A Color

[Michael]
Don't Tell Me You Agree With Me
When I Saw You Kicking Dirt In My Eye

But, If
You're Thinkin' About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White

I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White

I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Brother
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

It's Black, It's White
It's Tough For You
To Get By
It's Black , It's White, Whoo

It's Black, It's White
It's Tough For You
To Get By
It's Black , It's White, Whoo


-----------------------------



I gave my statement
for the insurance claim
I tell my patients
that I’m never to blame

Things started to get spiritual
As the patient
started to flat line

At the
end of the
tunnel
when you see it
Don’t go into the light

I had a finger
up in a patient’s bum
I may have sneezed
and he got a perforation

And I wish I worked the city
But in rural
I know I’m
always right

At the
end of the
tunnel
when you see it
Don’t go into the light

Compress the chest! (heeehee)
Cut myself with the scalpel
Oops I broke my gloves
That’s why it’s called a Practice
Blood all over
my scrubs
Better not be
a lawyer
Get the ECG Leads
“Tried” to repair your body
But then I
lost your spleen

[Rap]
Operation
full of com-
plications
Causing grief to
all my patients
The blood loss
turns you and I pale
End up like MJ’s
doc in jail
See, I do hip replaces
lift faces
cases
Using defib
paddles
like tasers
Scalpel knife
gets duller
Putting the letters
ER into Error

[Michael]
Don’t tell all of the patients
That the hippocratic oath is a lie

So,
I can’t interpret xrays
what is that bit that’s black or white?

I don't know which lung
has the cancer
Should I cut open the
left or right?

I’m
rethinking of
being a doctor
Sick of giving
old men the kiss of life

On call, all night,
in ICU,
So give me
some slack, all right

On call, all night
It’s tough for us
to get by,
I’m not, always right, Whoooo

I’ll keep my job, and get by,
as long as you stay alive

Chasing the Dragonite

This morning, walking around the 'hood playing Pokemon Go shivering from the cold in my baggy sweatpants and even baggier eyes, I finally find and catch a Scyther. Just 40 metres away, I notice a man in his 30's wearing trackies and a hoodie, just lounging in the area repetitively swiping on his phone. I presumed he was a fellow Pokemon player fighting the gym since he was swiping left & right repetitively, so being in an overly friendly and happy mood, I decided to excitedly approach him:

"Hey you know you can get a Scyther over there?!"

"A-what?" he replies

"A Scyther. It took several berries, but man the buzz you get when you finally get something new you know?!" I beam with a smile "And best of the luck going after the dragon mate [referring to the Gyarados at the gym], it's like over 1500-"
At this point I see his phonescreen and the only app he's swiping on, is a photo album, and I was sorely mistaken:
"-Uh...Nevermind, forget that"

"Um, okay..." 

As I walk away, the fella runs up to me and flashes his badge "I'm actually a cop. You're a local right? Seen any suspicious drug activity lately?"

"Oh! Um, well I've been around this area from 1-2am for the last few nights after work and I haven't really seen anyone around"

"What are you doing here at those hours?" he asks with a quizzical eyebrow

"Not really sure, but yeah catching Pokemon after a busy 10 hour hospital shift sounds about right"

"Oh... yeah nevermind"

Google later reveals that 'Scyther' is slang for marijuana in the Bay area, 'berry' can mean ecstasy, and 'chasing the dragon' refers to smoking opium, or the elusive pursuit of the ultimate high in the usage of some particular drug.

Besides nearly incriminating myself as a local druggie, I guess in a way, I'm in the elusive pursuit of the ultimate high... catching 'em all. Childhood nostalgia is my drug.

Good Morning

Instead of groaning, then rolling out of bed with a grumble as usual, this morning I uncharacteristically sprang out of bed, strode to the mirror and confidently whispered to myself "Let's do this" 
Upon realising that today's a day off, I pointed to myself and replied "Well what do we say to the God of Procrastination? Not today"  then slithered back in between the comfortable sheets of apathy and languor, to hibernate further into the warmth of idleness with a smile.
As I drifted off, I decided to convert to the religion of Snoozaism, an expression of the covenantal relationship between St Mattress and the Children of the Pillow. Sleeping in on Sundays is a sacrament. My God didn't create the world in seven days. He dreamt it. Hell is the hot side of the pillow. Purgatory is the snooze button on an alarm clock. ‪#‎newtonsfirstlaw‬

[Parody] Justin Bieber's Sorry - Hangry



Is it too late now to say sorry?

Cause I regret what I said when I was hungry

We've all had those days where we become irritable and snappy just because we haven't had our stomach's satisfied. Here's an apologetic song for those moments.

Original tune the following parody is based off: 

 
Parody lyrics in the right column: 
n.b. Italics indicate an aggressive tone. Like a piano sheet, but instead of allegro, aggro.


Justin Bieber - Sorry
Parody
You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty
You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies
I hope I don't run out of time, can someone call a referee?
Cause I just need, one more shot, at forgiveness
I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple of hundred times
So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem myself tonight
Cause I just need one more shot at second chances
You gotta know I get angry when I'm really just hungry
I become more irrational than vegans appalled of cheese
Unless you have coeliac, shutting the fuck up is gluten-free
Cause I just eat, for my thoughts, to help digest
I know you know that I eat twice the suggested serving size
By once or twice I mean maybe a couple of hundred times
What's the point, of a fridge light, if you don't snack at midnight
Cause it's food, it doesn't judge, it understands me
Yeah
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
ooh
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say that I'm sorry now?
Yeah
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I regret what I said when I was hungry
ooh
I get so irate when I'm on empty
Yeah I bite when my stomach growls
If I missed lunch don't hang around
I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, yeah
Sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say sorry now?
I'm hungry yeah
Angry yeah
Hangry
Yeah I know I had a meltdown
So FUCKING GIVE ME MY GRILLED CHEESE NOW
I'll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to
But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two
I'll go, I'll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth
Can we both say the words and forget this?
Fine I'll take a single slice of the cheesecake if you want me to
But you know that there is no way I'm sharing this steak for two
Vegies with cheese on a crouton, is just pizza say the truth
Fold in half, and just say it's a sandwich?
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say that I'm sorry now?
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I regret what I said when I was hungry
I get so irate when I'm on empty
Yeah I know I had a meltdown
Sorry I'm just not myself right now
I'm not just trying to get you back on me
Cause I'm missing more than just your body
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say sorry now?
I'm swear I'm eating more healthy (oh nono)
Cause I'm asking for more guacamole
Is it too late now for more curry?
Yeah give me dumplings to chow down
and some nuggets, pasta plus hashbrowns
I'm sorry, yeah
Sorry, oh
Sorry

Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say sorry now?
I'm hangry yeah
Hangry yeah
Hangry

Yeah give me icecream calm me down
OR I'LL MAKE YOU FUCKING SORRY NOW
