Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches Lyrics

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 bloodyHello 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 aLively 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 misTake off all your clothing, we've only just begun

It only did us worlds of good to poison, leech and
Purging is a penance, phlebotomy's a chore
No need to sterilize the tools, we never did beFore the night is over, before you go to bed
They'll take a hammer and 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
