Lady Godiva's Operation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][D]

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