Lyrics:
This shit is my white coat
My tuning fork, and my stethoscope
This one’s for them newbies
Them M1s, premed degrees
Percussin’, auscultatin’ basically MD.
Got MRSA on my white coat
Gotta foam myself, I’m so gritty
I’m too smart (oh man)
Make Netter wanna retire man
I’m worn out (got slammed)
Call the doctor and an ambulance
I’m too lost (just crammed )
Don’t call my name, I don’t know a thing
I’m too broke (oh damn)
Uncle sam gimmme that money, help me out
Pass/fail, hallelujah (woo!)
Recorded lectures, hallelujah (woo!)
2-X hallelujah (woo!)
‘Cause first-year funk gon’ give it to you
‘Cause first-year funk gon’ give it to you
‘Cause first-year funk gon’ give it to you
Monday morning and we can’t get up
Don’t attend em, just watch (come on)
Don’t attend em, just watch uh
Don’t attend em, just watch
Don’t attend em, just watch
Don’t attend em, just watch
Don’t attend em, just watch
Hey, hey, hey, oh
Stop, got 1 minute
Fill my cup, put some coffee in it
Take a sec, sign on in
Students! Lets begin! [professional voice].
Got the CC, HPI
PMH and past surgeries
Is she hot? (its a man))
Called my friend and I switched it man
Now she’s hot (hot damn)
Make the SPs wanna retire man
I’m too hot (hot damn)
Found that PMI, it was awesome man
You got caught (oh man)
Should’ve gone for that JD
Break me out
No Step prep, hallelujah (woo!)
No Shelf exams, hallelujah (woo!)
Free time, hallelujah (woo!)
‘Cause first-year funk gon’ give it to you
‘Cause first-year funk gon’ give it to you
‘Cause first-year funk gon’ give it to you
Saturday night and we have a life
Don’t stay in, let’s take shots (come on)
Don’t stay in, let’s take shots uh
Don’t stay in, let’s take shots uh
Don’t stay in, let’s take shots uh
Don’t stay in, let’s take shots
Don’t stay in, let’s take shots
Hey, hey, hey, oh
Before we leave
Lemme tell y’all a lil’ something
First-year funk you up
First-year funk you up
First-year funk you up
First-year funk you up uh
I said first-year funk you up
First-year funk you up
First-year funk you up
First-year funk you up
Come on, pass, you got it
Get a 70 then flaunt it
P is MD so own it
If It ain’t high yield, don’t learn it.
Come on, patients, they never knew it
That I don’t know what im doin
Well it’s Sunday night and you’re in the spot
You’re stressed about it? Take shots!
You’re stressed about it? Take shots!
You’re stressed about it? Take shots!
You’re stressed about it? Take shots!
You’re stressed about it? Take shots!
You’re stressed about it? Take shots!

This was great! First year here! lol Unfortunately, at my school, one does not simply "don't attend and just watch." We have mandatory attendance and letter grades. -_-

[@craigbrighton257]

[@susanshipman9664]

FREAKING SERIOUSLY? I go to WUSM for film on spine surgery and I get this shit. Good job.

[@chimpchar001]

+Susan Shipman I'm sorry you ended up on the page created by medical students. They only made it to have fun and enjoy the little bit of free time they get.

[@roflmatol]

Really, guys? "Hot Singer WHOSE Never Stressed"? "WHOSE"? smh

[@traviscrevecoeur2583]

roflmatol speeling and gramer wasn't part of the MCAT?

[@Benntheredunthat]

Nothing like a bunch of future rich kids with rich parents taking time to make a professionally edited(ish) video. I'm sure life has been rough on you all.

[@chimpchar001]

+Benntheredunthat Having been a student there I can tell you a fair number of students don't have rich parents. WashU is nice enough to have a good financial aid department, even then we have some pretty large loans. Also, you really don't know how hard it is to be a medical student do you? Let them enjoy the scarce free time they get.

[@seancahill8910]

Seriously Wash U? Sexual harassment is not a joke no matter how harmless it might seem. It's sort of sad that nobody else has called you out on this.

[@Anzius1]

+Sean Cahill because most people have a sense of humor and this whole PC thing is getting so out of hand that soon we'll be offended about people saying the word, shit.

[@mohsahra700]

Just horrible
