Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went to see a rabbi
But despite his advice
I want an operation
I will not father life
[Verse 2]
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
[Verse 3]
They sent me to a preacher
A really thoughtful guy
He said my idea's crazy
I shouldn't even try
[Verse 4]
This operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
[Verse 5]
But I've just seen a surgeon
And with a knife he cut
I cannot bring you children
This world is such a rut
[Verse 6]
This operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
[Verse 7]
I had an operation
A statement of our times
They tied my balls together
What's inside's not alive
[Verse 8]
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
[Verse 9]
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
Operation, operation
Snip and tie, snip and tie
