Heart Transplant

(álbum: Boogity Boogity - 1974)

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
