Lyrics
He sneaks through the door of the surgery
Entering the surgery secretly
He's got the drug cabinet key, he did something funny
Has access to the drug cabinet and did something unusual
And tied up his arm
Tied up his arm, possibly preparing for a drug use
It's just the flying doctor, no cause for alarm
Identifying himself as the Flying Doctor, no need to worry
He sprinkled out a powder, and laid out a line
Scattering a powder and preparing a line (of drugs)
He sniffed it up his nostrils, feeling so fine
Sniffing the prepared substance, enjoying the sensation
Feeling so fine, it feels like he's blind
Expressing the intense pleasure from the substance, feeling euphoria
Feeling so fine, it feels like he's blind
Repetition emphasizing the intense and possibly disorienting effect
His receptionist saw him, it certainly shocked her
Receptionist witnessing the act, shocked
She said "Look out, you'd better stop, here
Receptionist warning about the Flying Doctor's actions
Comes the Flying Doctor"
Introduction of the Flying Doctor as a character
Out in the outback there's been an outbreak
Referring to an outbreak in the outback
And the Flying Doctor's got nothing to take
Flying Doctor lacking necessary supplies
He went to the cabinet and the cabinet was bare
Finding the cabinet empty and expressing outrage
He's so outraged and you can see by his stare
Visible anger through his stare
Called up his brakes on the radio, he said "My supplies are running low"
Communicating the shortage via radio
They're running low you can see
Supplies are running low
Where they go. They're running low I see where they go
Speculating on the destination of the supplies
Out in the outback with my merciful claptrap
Referring to medical equipment in the outback
Look out you'd better duck, here comes the Flying Doctor
Warning of the Flying Doctor's arrival
He's got the cabinet key, the cabinet key, the cabinet key
Emphasizing possession of the cabinet key
"This is the Flying Doctor calling Wallarolla back.
Radio communication with a humorous remark
Will the base come in please? I want to talk to you about my drugs case...
Requesting communication with the base
He's as drunk as a Kangaroo's Carburetor"
Humorous description of the Flying Doctor's state
Cabinet key
Repetition of possessing the cabinet key
Wake up one, two, three, four
Command to wake up
A Sheilah in the bush by a Koolah bar tree needing an
Describing a woman in need of an urgent operation
Urgent appendectomy
Highlighting the urgency of the appendectomy
The Flying Doctor like a true Australian, performed the
Portraying the Flying Doctor as a true Australian
Operation with a saltine can, he made a rough incision
Performing surgery with improvised tools
And tried to chew it out, he had no anaesthetic
Describing the lack of anesthesia
So she started to shout, she started to shout. When
Response to the patient's pain
He was chewing it out. She started to shout and
Continued shouting due to pain
Tried to chew him right out, balled up his fist and
Physical altercation with the patient
So typically socked out
Responding aggressively to the situation
Look out you'd better stop. Here comes the Flying Doctor
Repeating the warning about the Flying Doctor
Cabinet key, cabinet key, cabinet key...
Final repetition of possessing the cabinet key
