Senior ship's surgeon since '66
Multitalented, knows all the tricks
Been almost everywhere in the galaxy
Traveled time and changed history
Has a running feud with a green-blooded man
Takes every opportunity to argue if he can
He's one of a kind, says what's on his mind
You might think he's complaining when you here him saying

He's a doctor - not an escalator
He's a doctor - not a bricklayer
He's a doctor - not a shuttle-conductor
And everybody knows him as Dr McCoy
He's a doctor - not an engineer
He's a doctor - and not a magician
He's a doctor - not a psychiatrist
And you know that I'm talking about Dr McCoy

Doesn't like transporters at all
Prefers a shuttle if possible
Suffered once from Xenopolycytemia
Married twice, has a daughter, Joanna
Charged with murder of Klingon Chancellor
Managed to escape with a fellow officer
Doesn't make house calls, had a katra in his head
Cures a rainy day and wakes up the dead

He's a doctor - not an escalator
He's a doctor - not a bricklayer
He's a doctor - not a shuttle-conductor
And everybody knows him as Dr McCoy
He's a doctor - not an engineer
He's a doctor - and not a magician
He's a doctor - not a psychiatrist
And you know that I'm talking about Dr McCoy
