If you want to measure... your blood pressure
Everybody knows what tool you use
It's that thing with the cuff for your arm
And the bulb on the end that's attachd with a tube
But what do you call it? A blood-pressure cuff?
It turns out that name wasn't long enough
The technical for one of those blood-pressure monitors
Is a "Sphygmomanometer!"
So, do you want to get your blood pressure measured?
Man, you need a Sphygmomanometer!
Want an instrument whose name's got sixteen lettres?
Yo, you need a Sphygmomanometer!
It's a big, old moniker
For this sphyg-mo-manometer
So, just drop that needle like a conifer
For this sphygmomanometer
Check it: for a hip-hop jam to be complete
You need a rap and you need a beat
So, the fact that you wrap that cuff around your arm, plus,
The beat of your heart means:
"Party people, move your feet!"
In the disco this goes out to the Gizmos,
People tapping their big toes for sphygmos,
That's what I call it for short, like: "you dig, bros?"
So, get your your sleeve pushed up like a pig's nose,
And let's attach that cuff with some (undefined),
And get the status-scope on your elbows
So we can tell if your blood pressure fell, grows
Or stayed in the same place like Melrose
So, could you roll up your garment, sir and man,
I want to see that upper arm of yours, and
If you ask me what do I want it for,
IT'S FOR MY MOTHERFUCKIN' SPHYGMOMANOMETER!
Check it y'all!
Do you want to get your blood pressure measured?
Man, you need a sphygmomanometer!
Want an instrument that has the craziest name ever?
Yo, you need a sphygmomanometer!
And if you wanna be a commoner, then,
I suppose you can call it a blood-pressure monitor
But if you wanna be a connoisseur, then,
It's a sphygmomanometer!
Everybody!
S to the P, to the H, to the Y, to the G, to the M,
To the O, to the M, to the A, to the N, to the O,
To the M, to the E, to the T, to the E, to the R.
(Backwards!) R to the E, to the T, to the E, to the M,
To the O, to the N, to the A, to the M, to the O, to the M,
To the G, to the Y, to the H, P, S.
It's Morse code!
Sphygmomanometer!
