Lyrics Lady Godiva's Operation - The Velvet Underground
Lady
Godiva
here
dressed
so
demurely
Pats
the
head
of
another
curly
haired
boy
Just
another
toy
Sick
with
silence
she
weps
sincerely
Saying
word
that
have
oh
so
clearly
been
said
So
long
ago
Draperies
wrapped
gently
'round
her
shoulder
Life
has
made
her
that
much
bolder
now
That
she's
found
out
how
Dressed
in
silk,
latin
lace
and
envy
Pride
and
joy
of
the
latest
penny
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
grace
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
machines
that
neatly
pump
air
The
body
lies
bare
Shaved
and
hairless
what
once
was
screaming
Now
lies
silent
and
almost
sleeping
The
brain
must
have
gone
away
Straped
securly
to
the
white
table
Ether
caused
the
body
to
wither
and
writhe
Underneath
the
white
light
Doctor
arrives
with
knife
and
baggage
Sees
the
growth
as
just
so
much
cabbage
That
now
must
be
cut
away
Now
come
the
moment
of
great
great
decision
The
doctor
is
making
his
first
incision
One
goes
here,
one
goes
there
The
ether
tube's
leaking
says
someone
who's
sloppy
The
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
slow
from
the
brain
By
my
count
of
ten
the
head
won't
move
