-------------------------------------

 

The lunatics finally did it And it’s gonna drive us all wild A man has an x-ray in the NHS They will ask if he may be with child Picture the scene, it’s almost obscene If x-rayed at some later date They’ll ask if I’m pregnant and I will say, “No… But, Doctor, I am a bit late.” The doc’s chin will drop to the floor The unborn rank high in their fears He’ll ask me, “How late?” And I’ll calculate… “It’s something like sixty-five years!”
