Seeing Whose Doctor?
Sung to the tune
"Everything's Coming Up Roses"

You feel swell.
You feel great.
You never re-taste what you ate.
But you see
On TV
That you better be seeing your doctor.

What the hell?
All night long,
Commercials imply something's wrong,
That you'll die –
Few clues why –
So you better be seeing your doctor.

Doctors sinning!
Hardly what you want to hear –
Merck is winning,
Leading them 'round by the ear.

Which comes first?
Not their pill?
Merck needs to convince you you're ill?
Still not sick?
Then their shtick
Is you better be seeing our doctor!
