Noguchi Lyrics by Phranc

Folksinger

1985

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Outro]
And one thing's for sure: I won't die like Belushi
I won't have Noguchi cutting on me
