Lyrics

He's got a big mouth; he likes the attention
Of seeing his name on the front page
And he's quite a big shot; he's been on Dick Cavett
And for himself, he has made quite a name
Cadavers were stacked and jewelry was stolen
A severed hand lost in the county morgue
And all of this seemed to arouse some suspicions
About Thomas Noguchi, ex-Chief Coroner
He worked for the city, he worked for the county
In a room near the morgue in downtown L.A
He worked for the city, he worked for the county
Cutting on corpses in downtown L.A
The board was behind him but the grand jury fired him
'Cause more often than not, he was not at his job
He was off at the barber or attending a luncheon
Not cutting on corpses, which was his job
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Yes, someone must do it, and that I agree
But I think that that someone should do it less like Noguchi
And more like Jack Klugman on Quincy, M.E
He's got a big mouth; he likes the attention
Of seeing his name on the front page
And he's quite a big shot; he's been on Dick Cavett
And for himself, he has made quite a name
And one thing's for sure: I won't die like Belushi
I won't have Noguchi cutting on me
