Summer of 2009

I got my first real stethoscope
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Listened til my ears bled
It was the summer of 2009

Me and some guys from school
Got into medicine, we tried real hard
Jimmy failed, Joey got deported
Shoulda known they'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - I'd never wanna be there
Those were the worst days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got exams to do
Spent my evenin's watchin' shit on youtube
And my days stealin' notes from you yeah

Standin' at the ward clerk's desk
I told her that I'd wait forever
To get respect from her
She looked at me and said "whatever"
Those were the worst days of my life
Back in the summer of 2009

Man we were wastin' time
We were young and clueless
Can't be bothered thinking of a rhyme
Thank God nothin' lasts forever - oh, yay!

And now the times are changin'
Look at all the patient's who've come and gone
Sometimes when I use that ol' stethoscope
I think about them, wonder what went wrong

Standin' at the ward clerk's desk
I told her that I'd wait forever
To get respect from her
She looked at me and said "whatever"
Those were the worst days of my life, oh yeah
Back in the summer of 2009, uh-huh
It was the summer of 2009, oh yeah, I got a reaming in 2009
It was the summer, the summer, summer of 2009

This needs to be recorded. If I can remember how to play my ol' six string, I may even do it...

You can play a real six-string? Awesome! I've got a great idea for a song about that!

Ahem - err - I don't think one buys a Littman's at the five and dime...

You should probably have a brief review of my Iron-Clad Disclaimer (tm).

I laughed out loud. But now I have a serious ear-worm problem. Will stuffing my ear canals with combatrum (TM) help me?

PS Please tell me that Joey didn't really get deported. He was always my favourite on Friends.

I've addressed the earworm question in a whole new post, so I hope you feel special.

As for "Joey" Haneef, sadly he was deported, but he has since settled his legal action against the Australian Government for an undisclosed sum.
