I went to see a rabbi
But despite his advise
I want an operation
I will not father life

Operation,
Operation
Snip & tie,
Snip & tie

They send me to a preacher
A really toughtful guy
He said my idea's crazy
I shouldn't even try

This operation,
Operation
Snip & tie,
Snip & tie

But I've just seen a surgeon
And with a knife he cut
I cannot bring you children
This world is such a rut

Operation,
Operation
Snip & tie,
Snip & tie

I had an operation
A statement of our times
They tied my balls together
What's insides not alive
