Lady Godiva's Operation |
| Lady Godiva, dressed so demurely |
| Pats the head of another curly-haired boy |
| Just another toy |
| Sick with silence, she weeps sincerely |
| Saying words that have oh so clearly been said |
| So long ago |
| Draperies wrapped gently 'round her shoulder |
| Life has made her that much bolder now |
| That she found out how |
| Dressed in silk, satin, lace and envy |
| Pride and joy of the latest penny-fare |
| Pretty passing care |
| Hair today now dripped in the water |
| Making love to every poor daughter’s son |
| Isn’t it fun? |
| Now today, propping grace with envy |
| Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone’s there |
| And hasn’t a care |
| «Doctor is coming,» the nurse thinks sweetly |
| Turning on the machines that neatly pump air |
| The body lies bare |
| Shaved and hairless, what once was screaming |
| Now lies silent and almost sleeping |
| The brain must have got away |
| Strapped securely to the white table |
| Ether causes the body to wither and writhe |
| Underneath the white light |
| Doctor arrives with a knife and baggage |
| Sees the throat, of oh so much cabbage |
| That must now be cut away |
| Now comes the moment of great decision |
| Doctor’s making his first incision |
| One goes here |
| One goes there |
| «The ether’s leaking,» says someone who’s sloppy |
| The patient, it seems, is not so well sleeping |
| Screams echo up the hall |
| Don’t panic, someone give him pentathol instantly |
| Doctor removes his blade cagily slow from the brain |
| By nine out of ten |
| The head won’t move |
