Doctors Boycott Merck *
Sung to the tune "I Can't Give You Anything But Love"

Merck won't publish side effects of drugs, sorry,
Till they make us watch their TV plugs. Sorry!
I prescribe, you subscribe,
And then we find
Later on, when you're gone,
Trial results showed some were blinded.

Gee, I'd hoped that you would soon get well. Sorry!
Wish I'd known what Merck refused to tell. Sorry!
Till that day the FDA gives Merck hell, there's no
Way I'd give you anymore Merck drugs!
