Spin Doctors Traction Blues song lyrics

The coffee at the hospital

Was a low-down nasty sludge

I got 19 compound fractures and

I'm talking to the judge

And if that judge don't bust you,

I'll take you to the one that will

'cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

Call me a dumbell, call me a spoiled slug,

I tumbled down your staircase,

And I'm taking you to court.

If that court don't bust you, mama,

I'll take you to the one that will

'cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

(oh no!)

I would not be on my feet,

I swear by God above.

My arm and first 3 fingers

Are in a plaster glove

I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

If that cop don't bust you baby,

I'll take you to the one that will.

'cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

The coffee at the hospital

Was a low-down nasty sludge

I got 19 compound fractures, baby

Talkin' to the judge

If that judge don't bust you, mama

I'll take you to the one that will

But I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love
