Lyrics: Henrik Widegren

You can listen to the beating of the heart
You can hear all the murmurs of the valves
You can hear the air in the lungs
And all the bubbly stomach sounds
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

A stethoscope, a stethoscope
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

You can strangle an irritating patient
You can sell it if it’s valuable and ancient
You can use it as a wrecking ball
If your house is very small
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

Tie a wild and hyperactive child
Wrap it round your head to make you styled
Hang a dozen on your yacht and they’ll
Be like fenders on your boat rail
It is good to have a stethoscope

A stethoscope, a stethoscope
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

If your friend has fallen from a dock
Take your stethoscope and pull him up
Or bring it on your submarine
As a useless periscope
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

You can use it to caress your thigh
If your special friend has said good bye
Or why not tag along
And use it as a thong
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

A stethoscope, a stethoscope
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

You can always brush away some wax
If you’re hungry and in need of snacks
Or use it as an endoscope
If so, be sure to clean with soap
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

If you think that S&M is hip
You can always use it as a whip
Or give a stethoscope fetishist
His biggest trip
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

If you’re full and you would like to choke
You can pull it up and down your throat
Or write a really shitty song
That no one wants to quote
It’s always good to have a stethoscope

A stethoscope, a stethoscope
It’s always good to have a stethoscope…
