[verse 1]
oh the year was nineteen, ten and eight
and to think i take up sugar now
at eleven years old my fate was rung
by the death o’ me islets of langerhans

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years
[verse 2]
young frederick banting cried aloud
and to think i take up sugar now
through sh+lling and fire he scorned his wounds
til the fallen in battle be dressed and bound

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years

[verse 3]
diabetes then was a sickening plight
and to think i take up sugar now
we’d down the least that a man could scoff
til the famine or saccharide capped us off

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years
[verse 4]
the simcoe doc was a knife by trade
and to think i take up sugar now
when the practice failed he set his jaw
to the treatment of glycosuria

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years

[verse 5]
the pancreas’ form had long been known
and to think i take up sugar now
islets that curb sugar low or high
and digestive fluid from the acini

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years
[verse 6]
he worked as long i withered and waned
and to think i take up sugar now
sweating with best in animal trials
to wring an elixir from the tiny isles

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years

[verse 7]
then at length on death’s cold mantle i lay
and to think i take up sugar now
the extract was drawn and the hype went in
in the first e’er treatment of insulin

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years

[verse 8]
my vigour returned and in truth i thrived
and to think i take up sugar now
banting & co shared a n0bel prize
and the work saved north’ard of a million lives

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years

[verse 9]
so here i lay in my twenty+eighth year
and to think i take up sugar now
the pneumonia’s fast in both me lungs
but i want no islets of langerhans

[refrain]
n0bel them all!
i was lost to cruel disease
when a miracle cure saved mother her son
dried her tears
now i’m a croakin’ man but i’ll nevermore fear
the last of banting’s imparted years
