Velvet Underground - Lady Godiva's Operation lyrics

(reed)

Lady godiva here dressed so demurely

Pats the head of another curly hair boyjust another toy

Sick with silence she weeps sincerly

Saying words that have oh so clearly been said

So long ago

Draperies wrapped gently around her shoulder

Life has made her that much bolder now

That she's found out how

Dressed in silklatinlace and envy

Pride and joy of the latest funny faire

Pretty passing care

Hair today now dipped in the water

Making love to every poor daughter's son

Isn't it fun

Now today propping frace 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 machine and neatlypump air

The body lies bare

Shaed and hairless what onces was screaming

Now lies silent and almost sleeping

The brain must have gone away

Strapped securely to the white table

Ether caused the body to wither and writhe

Underneath the wight light

Doctor arrives with 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 tubes 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 m count of ten -

The head won't move
