Traction Blues - Spin Doctors

The coffee at the hospital

Was a low-down nasty sludge

I got 19 compound fractures and

Im talking to the judge

And if that judge dont bust you,

Ill take you to the one that will

cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

Call me a dumbell, call me a spoiled slug,

I tumbled down your staircase,

And Im taking you to court.

If that court dont bust you, mama,

Ill take you to the one that will

cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

(oh no!)

I would not be on my feet,

I swear by God above.

My arm and first 3 fingers

Are in a plaster glove

I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

If that cop dont bust you baby,

Ill take you to the one that will.

cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love

The coffee at the hospital

Was a low-down nasty sludge

I got 19 compound fractures, baby

Talkin to the judge

If that judge dont bust you, mama

Ill take you to the one that will

But I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love
