Subject: No Bed of Roses From: Bagpuss Date: 29 Jul 00 - 06:06 AM Does anyone know the words to this song by Sisters Unlimited? It's to the tune of Blood Red Roses (Go Down). The refrain is "Childbirth's no bed of roses. bear down". Its really funny, but I can't for the life of me remember the rest of the lyrics. Bagpuss |
Subject: Lyr Add: CHILDBIRTH SHANTY From: GUEST,JMCM Date: 30 Jul 00 - 09:43 PM CHILDBIRTH SHANTY For nine months I've been tired and sick Childbirth's no bed of roses- bear down Swollen up like Moby Dick Childbirth..... Bursting out of all my clotheses Childbirth...... Am I having con-trac-ti-on Or wind or cons-sti-pa-ti-on "Call me an ambulance" she groanses Razor shaves off all your hair Watch your bloody cold hands down there Used to have a beard like Moses Then they come and clear your bowels I'm glad I don't have to wash the towels Clean me down with pressure hoses It's legs akimbo, miles apart I hope I don't freak or faint or f-feeze(fart) Gas and air to comatose us Just one more push and that'll do Head and shoulders soon be through Oh- it's feet and toeses - she breaches! My baby's born with one last shove Thats what you call a labour of love I'd do it again though - I supposes Childbirth's no bed of roses - bear down (Davis/Kerr/Russell/Webb) |
