I apologise if this is a bit out of the blue, but I figured that this was the best place to get help with this problem.

2 Doctors called Adam Kay and Suman Biswas have written and released an album called "Fitness To Practice", containing a song called "The Drugs Song" (a parody of "The Elements Song" by Tom Lehrer). Anyway, I'm trying to transcribe the lyrics to the song, but not knowing about drugs I'm having trouble working out what some of the lyrics are.

There's an mp3 of the song on the album's website: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/medic/fitn...ugs%20Song.mp3
Below are the lyrics as far as I have worked out with the help of various websites, but those in [square brackets] are just what it sounds like they're saying. If anyone can have a listen and tell me what the bracketed drugs really are, I'd be massively greatful.

What I've got so far:

quote:There's Aspirin, adrenaline and also aminophylline, amphetamine, adenosine, Augmentin and rifampicin,
Amoxicillin, Penicillin, heparin and warfarin and estrogen, progesterone and canesten and chloroquine;

There's Bendroflumethiazide and also cyclophosphamide and metoclopramide, acetazolamide, tropicamide, Loperamide, amiloride and cyclase and furosemide; and if you're up the duff then you'd best avoid thalidomide.

There's lithium, fluoxetine and also amitriptyline, paroxetine, digoxin, [GTN] and [Nesothyapine/Neyzothiapine], Miconazole, Atenolol and also chloramhenicol and if you want to overdose there's always paracetamol.

There's Night Nurse and there's [thenato] and Zyrtec and diazepam and lithium, temazepam, midazolam, clonazepam, testosterone, aldosterone, and valium and insulin and idocaine and Piriton and Ventolin and Ritalin;

There's cefuroxime, cefotaxime, [cefolixime], cefadrin and Metronide, azole and ketoconazole, trimethropin, [arithromide], [senjentomide], [senmacrolides], Methedrine, and Actafed and Sudafed and Calpol with no sugar in.

There's Phenelzine and Hyazyme, [renitodine], [semetodine], potassium and calcium and every kind of vitamin, and pethidine and methodone and speed, cocaine and heroine and cannabis and prozac, morphene alchohol and nicotene.

You must remember all these drugs the names of which you've learnt from me; Or, f**k 'em all and get a job in orthopedic surgery.

Thanks,
Mark
