Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say a womb that wanders is a curse
Hippocrates could think of nothing worse
He said, "The cure for all you ladies
Find husbands and have babies"
To quench its greedy, insatiable thirst
[Verse 2]
Pirouettes around the body like an imp
Blows a ballerina's belly to a blimp
From the abdomen to chest
Making boulders out of breasts
Playing tunes upon her organs
A concerto of distress
[Chorus]
The Red Queen's to blame
For every affliction
Plagues on our household
Carnal intermission
Mystical visions, strange psychic hunches
Male apologies
In big crimson bunches
[Verse 3]
There's now magic in a pill to make it stop
With no side effects, except possible rot
I am sure she will be fine
If the pleasure is all mine
And no extra heirs
Can come to claim their lot
[Refrain]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Chorus]
Forever perplexing
And testing our will
Knowledge of females confuses us still
Puberty, pregnancy, menopause, crone
Too much complexity happening below
[Outro]
Doctor, can you bring her some relief?
Speculums and smelling salts to make her sneeze?
Would you care to exorcise
Her mischief from inside?
Contemporary medicine's
The key!
