Lyric Living With a Hernia

Living With a Hernia
[Living in America/James Brown/1985]

All I do is grunt and groan
Hurts me to walk anywhere
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones
He took my trousers off, told me to cough
Doctor says there ain t nothin to discuss
He tells me any day I might have to wear a truss

Living with a hernia
All the time, such aggravation
Living with a hernia
Gonna be my ruination
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation

Feel so old

Too much bad pain
Good gawd, drives me insane
Can t run, barely crawl
Got a bulge in my intestinal wall
Walk real funny, bless my soul
Can t play tennis and it s hard to bowl
You can t even do the splits now...Better call it quits now
I m sick of all this dancin anyhow

Living with a hernia
Hurts me bad in a tender location
Living with a hernia
Had enough humiliation
Living with a hernia
Got to have an operation

I live with a hernia
Can t get up, can t bend over
Now I live with a hernia
Wait a minute...
You may not be familiar with the common types
Of hernias that you could get
So just settle down, let me clue you in
There s incomplete
Epigastric
Bladder
Strangulated
Lumbar hernia
Richter s hernia
Obstructed
Inguinal and Direct

Living with a hernia...Rupture!
I said it s causin me such irritation
Living with a hernia
Have to have my medication
Living with a hernia

I feel bad!
