Ama Song Lyrics by Phil Ochs

Ama Song Lyrics

    pre>g d g
    We are the nation's physicians
    D g
    Yes, we give to our lobbies every day
    D b c7
    We will fight against disease when the money comes with ease
    G d g
    And when we get together we say
    C g
    Hooray for a.m.a.
    C g d
    And for us doctors gluts of higher pay
    G d b c7
    If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill
    G d g
    'cause that's the free enterprise way

    We've divided up the sections of the body
    Every day we specialize more and more
    But we really love to stitch the diseases of the rich
    We are sure there is a clinic for the poor
    Hooray for the a.m.a
    And for us doctors gluts of higher pay
    If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill
    'cause that's the free enterprise way

    And our waiting rooms are getting pretty crowded
    It is sad to see our patients sit and bleed
    But if you must use our ointment then you must have an appointment
    Or who'll pay for those magazines you read
    Hooray for the a.m.a
    And for us doctors gluts of higher pay, higher pay
    If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill
    'cause that's the free enterprise way

    And now the government is getting too ambitious
    Yes, we know they want to socialize us all
    Well our oath was hippocratic but with money we're fanatic
    So we'll see you in canada in the fall [1]
    Hooray for the a.m.a.
    And for us doctors gluts of higher pay
    If you can't afford my bill don't you tell me that you're ill
    'cause that's the free enterprise way
    Amalgamated a.m.a.
