(hah... Hah...)
(Re-po maaaaan)
(Re-po maaaaan)

Rotti:
I hate to do this
Nathan
It's a thankless Job
But somebody's gotta do it
Peelin' off the tissue inch by inch
Skinning off the muscles, too
Harvesting the kidneys for the fall
Savin' up the livers in the fridge
No one ever thanks me when I'm done
How self-absorbed people can be
With a slice
or a snip
eenie meenie miney mo (Ha)
With a cut
or a stitch
Returning organs good as new
Wahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa
It's a thankless Job
But somebody's got to do it
Like a mom (Like a mop)
And a broom (And a broom)
[both voices] No one wants a thankless job!

I'm pretty sure from the commentary (and just from the guy's voice) that the voice in the background is not Rotti. It's just a chorus member.

And in the commentary I think Darren Smith said he was saying something like... "My aching nobis"? Which is supposed to be where "My Aching Hour" came from.

But I also heard a story somewhere that it was just a random sample of an opera played backwards, so I'm not sure.
