The stories behind Swing That Scope

• Twin Fiddles and Swing Rhythms on the Scope Carousel — Take B dials up the dancehall swing with crisp instrumental solos and spirited depot call-outs.
• Swing That Scope and the Precision Craft of Endoscope Rebuilding — A Western swing romp through the high-stakes mechanical overhaul of insertion tubes, angulation cables, and optical channels.

Lyrics

Oh, swing it, boys!

Take that flexible endoscope down to

Austin.

Let's see them wires dance.

Well, the doctor sent a gastroscope from down in

San Antone. The angulation cables were as stiff as any stone.

The bending rubber tore apart the optical bundle blind

The saddest looking instrument that

Texas ever signed We clapped her in the repair jig and fired up the swing

Started tuning up the cables like a brand new fiddle string

Up and down and left and right 210 degrees

Making that old insertion tube as flexible as you please

Swing that skull break to the

Texas beat

Let it pop, bang on it

Get some back on their feet

Jazzy steel guitar When fiddles roar

This damn optical repair on the dance hall floor

Pull on the wire to tighten up the spring

Hear the western swing, scope carousel sing

Oh yeah, look at her bend

Clearest 4K picture that a doctor could send

Oh,

play it pretty steel, man

Test it out the air channel

Test out the jet

Not a single drop of leakage that our vacuum gauge has met

Glued the distal rubber tip with medical grade glue

Shining like a diamond under

Texas skies of blue

Shipped it back to surgery with a lowest on state salute

Smoothest little instrument in a surgical pursuant

Swing that skull break to the

Texas beat The Dept. of

Biomed gets them back on their feet

The jazz still gets hard when fiddles roar

Best damn optical repair on the dance hall floor

Pull on the wire, tighten up the spring

Hear the western swing, scope castle sing

Oh yeah, look at her bend

Clearest 4K picture that a doctor could

send

Angulation locked, ship her back to

San Antonio

I'll see you then.
