Lady godiva, hair dressed so demurely   Pats the head of another curly-haired boy   Just another toy   Sick with silence she weeps sincerely   Saying words that have all so clearly been said   So long ago      Draperies wrapped gently 'round her shoulders   Life has made her that much bolder now   That she found out how      Dressed in silk, clad in lace and envy   Pride and joy of the latest penny fair   Pretty passing care      Her hair today now are dipped 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      The doctor's 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 gone away      Strapped securely to the white table   Ether causes the body to wither and writhe   Underneath the white light      The doctor arrives, knife and baggage   Sees the growth as just so much cabbage   That now   Must be cut away      Now comes the moment of great! great! decision!   The doctor is making his first incision   One goes here - one goes there      The ether tube's leaking says someone who's sloppy   Patient it seems is not so well sleeping   The screams echo up the hall   Don't panic someone give him pentathol instantly   Doctor removes his blade   Cagily so from the brain   By my count of ten -   The head won't move!
