The stories behind The Biomed Shuffle

• A Gypsy Jazz Romp Through The Biomed Shuffle — Take B accelerates into an eccentric acoustic swing, pairing syncopated accordion leads with brisk mechanical wordplay.
• Tuning Vacuum Regulators with The Biomed Shuffle — When Ward 20's suction pump rattles the floorboards, a jaunty ragtime strut restores pressure to a steady fifteen.

Lyrics

Look at that suction pump chatter!

Grab your oil can, dapper boy!

Syncopate Biomed!

Down in Ward 20, the pressure got stuck.

The vacuum line fell into terrible luck.

Chattering loud like a

Model T Ford. Rattle in the floorboards of the recovery ward. I strolled through the door with a flower in

my coat Tuned that brass valve to a musical note

Turned the pet cock with a flip of the wrist

rhythm that the nurse has ever missed

Step with the ragtime, hear the valve sigh

The biomed shuffle goes rolling right by

Clarinet squeaking, tap on the tile

Regulate the suction with a twenties era smile

Honk goes the cornet, boom goes the drum

Making every gadget in the clinic hum

The head surgeon tapped on his shiny spat shoe

Said that pump is playing a melody true

Pressure gauge locked on a steady 15

The slickest mechanics that the hospital's seen I tipped my bowler hat, took a quick little spin

Leaving the floor with a satisfied grin

Step with the ragtime, hear the valve sigh

The biomed shuffle goes rolling right by

Clarinet squeaking, tap on the tile

Regulate the suction with a 20s era smile

Hump goes the cornet, boom goes the drum

Making every gadget in the clinic hum

Vacuum pressure, peachy keen, that's the cat's pajamas.
