Miss Lucy had some leeches 
Her leeches liked to suck 
And when they drank up all her blood 
She didn't give a 
Funny when the doctors 
Had locked her in her cell 
Miss Lucy screamed all night that they 
Should go to bloody 
Hello to the surgeon 
With scalpel old and blunt 
He'll tie you to the table 
Then he'll mutilate your 
Come it's nearly teatime 
The lunatics arrive 
The keepers bleed them all until 
There's no one left a 
Lively little rodents 
Are eaten up by cats 
We're subject to experiments 
Like laboratory 
Rats I've dropped a teacup 
How easily they break 
I'm on my hands and knees until 
I pay for my mis- 
Take off all your clothing 
We've only just begun 
We have no anesthesia 
It's eighteen forty 
One thing we should tell you 
Before you try again 
The tests are all invented by 
A lot of filthy 
Mentally hysteric 
She's failed the exam 
Don't bother telling Lucy for 
She doesn't give a 
Damn that nitrous oxide
For when you can't escape 
They say the surgeons oft commit 
A murder or a 
Razor blades are rusty 
And not a lot of fun 
So when they try to amputate 
Your legs you'd better 
Run and fetch the chemist 
A patient's feeling sad 
She's been in chains for ages 
And she isn't even 
Madness is a nuisance 
And no one is immune 
Your sister, mum or daughter 
May become a raving 
Lunatics are dangerous 
And doctors are obeyed 
They also go together just 
Like toast and marma- 
Ladies are like children 
With brains the size of squirrels 
Let's give a clitoridectomies 
To all the little 
Girls are helpless treasures 
That daddies must protect 
So lie upon the table 
For the doctors to in- 
Speculums are super 
And stirrups all the rage 
So spread a lady's legs and put her back into her 
Cage of naked crazies 
The surgeon's here to bleed 
The doctors are all learned men 
And some can even 
Reading can be risky 
For women on the verge 
It only did us worlds of good 
To poison, leech and 
Purging is a penance 
Phlebotomys a chore 
No need to sterilize the tools 
We never did be- 
Fore the night is over 
Before you go to bed 
They'll take a hammer and a nail 
And jam it in your 
Headstones in the courtyard 
And statues in the park 
Are not for the insane 
Just leave them rotting in the 
D-A-R-K
