Diseased Yourself (Love Yourself - Justin Bieber - Pharmacy Parody)

For all the discharge and bleeding and pain All these symptoms make me want to abstain Cuz my gyneo says that I have got the clam Gonna need some ‘zithromycin now, damn And I didn’t wanna take doxy- Cline, ‘cause that’d decrease levels of my birth control, but In case that wasn’t enough Got gonorrhea too So I gotta fix that with cefixime or some cef-triax Don’t think I can handle that

I’m gonna dump you by the end of this song And I’ve noticed this chancre, that doesn’t belong I’ll need to get some pen G stat Maybe doxy’s not that bad Cuz now I know You’re more contagious than a rat

And if you keep this up, you’ll probably get Some herpes or some warts from HPV You should go get meds to treat your copious amounts Of disgusting STDs

Pharmacist: Wha-wha-what did you say, Where on earth did you hear that?

Patient: The most reliable resource It’s called the internet C-called the internet C-called the internet The most reliable resource, is the internet

Pharmacist: Just a second I’ve got to clear up some things for you For all of those rumours you’ve heard, there is no ounce of truth The study anti-vaxxer’s praise turned out to be a fraud And now measles is coming back Their whole premise is flawed 

(Prechorus) They’re spreadin’ They’re spreadin’ Thought we wouldn’t see anymore Mumps and rubella, but they’re back and they’re airborne They’re spreadin’ They’re spreadin’ Measles’ got it’s foot in the door It’s far too dangerous for us to just ignore

Patient: (Chorus) Start vaccinatin’ me (Start vaccinatin’ me) Be healthy (Be healthy) Start vaccinatin’ me (Start vaccinatin’ me)

Graduation (Graduation - Vitamin C - Pharmacy Parody - Blue & Gold Winning Song)

So we talked last night ‘bout times in pharmacy school The last four years, we’re no longer the weak pool I keep thinking back to class in Med Sci And all of those finals that made us wanna cry When we leave this year we won’t be coming back No more exams or trippin’ over backpacks And learn-ing ‘bout therapeutics in labs ‘Cause we’ll soon be on the job in white coats, lookin’ fab We’re moving on, and we can’t slow down Memories replay as we start to count down I keep thinking ‘bout that day in June When we’ll graduate, it’s suddenly so soon And it’s all a blur, remember Toastmasters? Come so far, from our first seminars And we would get so excited and we’d get so scared For the next phase in our lives, tried to prepare And this is how it feels

As we go on We remember All the tests we Crammed for together And as our lives change Every endeavour We will still be ’16 Forever
