Many of the Foreman's songs
were topical in nature,
and for external use only.
Now the problem with topical songs
is that they go out of date so fast.
Remember the McKinley assassination rag,
for instance?
I didn't think so.
Well, in 1994, President Bill Clinton
fired his Surgeon General,
Joycelyn Elders,
for suggesting that sex education
should include individual study.
The foremen got right on it,
and when they were done,
they performed this seminal song.
You can't come in,
I hear you knockin'
You can't come in,
I hear you knockin'
You can't come in,
cause I'm firing the
Surgeon General
You can't come in, I hear you knockin'
You can't come in, I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in,
cause I'm firing the Surgeon General
I used to flog the dolphin,
used to choke the chicken,
used to spank the monkey,
used to pull with the tool
I used to whip the bishop,
used to wax the weasel
But now I learned one
they never taught in school
You can't come in, I hear you knocking
But you can't come in,
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in,
cause I'm firing the Surgeon General
I used to whack the bobbit,
used to knead the noodle,
used to charm the cobra,
used to ponder pointillism,
I used to free the willy,
used to pat the Robertson,
but now I got me a new euphemism.
You can't come in, I hear you knocking,
but you can't come in,
cause a fire in the
Surgeon General.
I used to
think I'd need analysis
Get phalluses full of calluses
Go blind, lose my mind
Be romantically disinclined
I used to think I'd never be mollified
Or qualified at all if I'd go to work
As a clerk
Try to be anything but a jerk
But now I'm on a dancing show
I'm jumping like a trout
Because I found a way to bat it,
and make a living at it.
Yeah, I got into politics
and I'm never coming, never coming,
I'm never coming out.
You can't come in,
I hear you knocking,
but you can't come in.
I check the lock and say you
can't come in,
because I'm firing the
Surgeon General.
Because I'm firing the
Surgeon General.
Because I'm firing the
Because I'm firing the Surgeon General.
