[Verse 1] Woke up one morning with a pain in my side Couldn't ignore it no matter how I tried It haunted me all day and I felt in my soul Perhaps I'd best prepare to let go of being whole
[Verse 2] Well I fought the sinking feeling and the growing fear But my life was on the line and the night was growing near And Mama she advised me go and get yourself to town Cause your symptoms are alarming so go on down
[Chorus] Oh doctor come and see your boy before he expires He's waiting in an agony of internal fires The seconds crawl by doctor tell me what you know Doctor says it's time to let the old appendix go
[Verse 3] I've been in tough times and I always pulled through But without my appendix I'm not sure how I'll do Does that hollow feeling last well I'm feeling just fine But some days I still remember that which once was mine
[Chorus] Oh doctor come and see your boy before he expires He's waiting in an agony of internal fires The seconds crawl by doctor tell me what you know Doctor says it's time to let the old appendix go
[Bridge] I let it go let it go cause it threatened me sorely I sacrificed the appendix for my health which was poorly
[Final Chorus] Oh doctor come and see your boy before he expires He's waiting in an agony of internal fires Well this has been a story to amuse and delight us The story of the time Paul got appendicitis
