[Verse 1]
D Lady Godiva here dressed so demurely C D Pats the head of another curly haired boy, Just another toy D Sick with silence she weps sincerely C D Saying word that have oh so clearly been said, So long ago
[Verse 2]
D Draperies wrapped gently 'round her shoulder C D Life has made her that much bolder now, That she's found out how D Dressed in silk, latin lace and envy C D Pride and joy of the latest penny faire, Pretty passing care
[Verse 3]
D Hair today now dipped in the water C D Making love to every poor daughter's son, Isn't it fun D Now today propping grace with envy C D Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone's there, And hasn't a care
[Verse 4]
D Doctor is coming the nurse thinks sweetly C D Turning on the machines that neatly pump air, The body lies bare D Shaved and hairless what once was screaming C D Now lies silent and almost sleeping, The brain must have gone away
[Verse 5]
D Straped securly to the white table C D Ether caused the body to wither and writhe, Underneath the white light D Doctor arrives with knife and baggage C D Sees the growth as just so much cabbage, That now must be cut away
[Verse 6]
D Now come the moment of great great decision C D The doctor is making his first incision, One goes here, one goes there D The ether tube's leaking says someone who's sloppy C D The patient it seems is not so well sleeping, The screams echo up the hall D Don't panic someone give him pentathol instantly C D Doctor removes his blade cagily slow from the brain, By my count of ten the head won't move
