[Verse 1]
Miss Lucy had some leeches
Her leeches liked to suck
And when they drank up all her blood
She didn't give a—

[Verse 2]
Funny, when the doctors
Had locked her in her cell
Miss Lucy screamed all night that they
Should go to bloody—

[Verse 3]
Hello to the surgeon
With scalpel old and blunt
He'll tie you to the table
Then he'll mutilate your—

[Verse 4]
Come, it's nearly teatime
The lunatics arrive
The keepers bleed them all until
There's no one left a—

[Verse 5]
Lively little rodents
Are eaten up by cats
We're subject to experiments
Like laboratory—
[Verse 6]
Rats, I've dropped a teacup
How easily they break
I'm on my hands and knees until
I pay for my mis—

[Verse 7]
Take off all your clothing
We've only just begun
We have no anesthesia
It's eighteen forty—

[Verse 8]
One thing we should tell you
Before you try again
The tests are invented by
A lot of filthy—

[Verse 9]
Mentally hysteric
She's failed the exam
Don't bother telling Lucy, for
She doesn't give a—

[Verse 10]
Damn, that's nitrous oxide
For when you can't escape
They say the surgeons oft commit
A murder or a—

And not a lot of fun
So when they try to amputate
Your legs you'd better—

A patient's feeling sad
She's been in chains for ages
And she isn't even—

[Verse 13]
Madness is a nuisance
And no one is immune
Your sister, mum, or daughter
May become a raving—

[Verse 14]
Lunatics are dangerous
And doctors are obeyed
They also go together just
Like toast and marma—

[Verse 15]
Ladies are like children
With brains the size of squirrels
Let's give clitoridectomies
To all the little—
[Verse 16]
Girls are helpless treasures
That daddies must protect
So lie upon the table
For the doctors to in—

[Verse 17]
Speculums are super
And stirrups all the rage
So spread a lady's legs and then put her
Back in to her—

[Verse 18]
Cage of naked crazies
The surgeon's here to bleed
The doctors are all learned men
And some can even—

[Verse 19]
Reading can be risky
For women on the verge
It only did us worlds of good
To poison, leech, and—

[Verse 20]
Purging is a penance
Phlebotomy's a chore
No need to sterilize the tools
