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...
