Uterine Blues

Well, I woke up this mornin'
Felt something out of place
I looked in the mirror
Checked my hair and my face
I walked into the kitchen
to start off my day
when, I swear, I felt my uterus
had wandered away!

I've got a wandering womb
Oh yeah, I've got a wandering womb
And a womb that's off to wander
Well, that ain't no good
I'm thinking that my uterus
is misunderstood.

Well, I hurried to the doctor
to get me a cure
The doc, he said, don't worry
He had seen this before
What troubles you, my lady
is quite easy to see
Hysteria we call it
Now just leave it to me...

Oh no! I've got a wandering womb
Dear me, I've got a wandering womb
And a womb that's off to wander
Well, that's really sick
Gotta get my uterus back home
real quick!

Now I was really feelin' anxious
I was a mess
The doctor claimed the cure, it lay
under my dress!
He took a pair of gloves
from the top of his shelf
"No thanks," I told him quickly
"I will do it myself!"

I've got a wandering womb
Oh yeah, still got a wandering womb
And a womb that's off to wander
Ain't really a plight
'Cause now my uterus and I
are feelin' all right!

Ph.Demons


A dissertation's never done
You work and work from sun to sun
You've never had so much production
But it's just the introduction!
Why did you think this would be fun?
A dissertation's never done!

A dissertation's never done
You cannot play; your friends you shun
You do not sleep; your skin is pale
You're sure that you are going to fail
Perhaps you should become a nun
A dissertation's never done!

A dissertation's never done
Advisor's near, nowhere to run
He asks you if it's going well
You want to tell him "Go to Hell!"
You stand there like you've just been stunned
A dissertation's never done!

A dissertation's never done
You think you may just buy a gun
But you hang tough and finish it
Committee says "Revise a bit!"
Don't ever think that you have won
A dissertation's never done!
