"One Night in Labour" lyrics

Okay, so due to popular demand (if by 'popular' you mean 'at the request of two people'), here are the lyrics to my favourite song to perform (at the moment). I hope it means as much to you as it does to me. Ehem.

"One Night in Labour"

Labour, hospital setting
And the mama don't know what the mama is getting
The creme de la creme of humilia-shen
She'll be showin' everything but Guy Sebastien

Time slows, it doesn't seem a minute
And you're wanting to get out but damn you're in it
Gimme gas! Don't you know once this thing's started
There ain't no ordinary way out

There's epidural, or a ceasar, or a bullet
Or...or this place

Chorus:
One night in labour and the world's your oyster
The baby's cute but it don't come for free
You'll soon find out if it's a girl or boyster
And if you're lucky it'll end quickly
I can feel a baby coming out of me

One kid's much like the other
When you're head's sucking down on the gas young mother

Hospital staff
It's a shame, yes it really is a pity
To be meeting your child when you're feeling so shitty

Mama
Whaddya mean? You've felt one pain you've felt 'em all!

Hospital staff
Blood, puke and placenta
That shit just ain't heaven senta

Mama
Hey man, you're talkin' to a gal
Who's pain threshold makes the guys go 'wow!'
I feel my kicks below the waistline, sunshine!

Chorus:
One night in labour makes a hard girl humble
You're just as shattered as your dignity
One night in labour and the tough girls crumble
Your one vagina suddenly feels like three (ow!)
I can feel a baby coming out of me

My hubby's gonna be a witness
To the ultime display of birthing fitness
More legs in the air than you would see
From the world's greatest yoga devotee
Put the camera away honey
Before I shove it up your...

Spread out like a piece of meat
And four doctors have a front row seat
I'd ask you in, yes I'd invite you
But the nudity in here would not excite you

Best get back to your drinking and your sleeping in and your...life

Chorus:
One night in labour and the world's your oyster
The baby's cute but it don't come for free
You'll soon find out if it's a girl or boyster
And if you're lucky it'll end quickly
Why'd I let my hubby put his dick near me?

One night in labour makes a hard girl humble
You're just as shattered as your dignity
One night in labour and the tough girls crumble
Your one vagina now feels like thirty (ow!)
Someone get this freakin' baby out of me!

*insert thunderous applause*

By the way, now you've read the lyrics that does NOT mean you've got an excuse not to come to a future show. There ain't nothing like seeing the real thing live, sistas.

Is this the tune of One Night In Bangcock??
And why are there continents between us?? You rock!!

Oh Sharpie, shux and yes you are a clever one.

Though I believe the correct spelling is 'Bangkok' you dirty little muffin. ;-)

And don't stress - a US tour is not completely out of the question. Give me a year or two. Hehe.
