Song of Medical Dick and Medical Davy
Language: English
The first was Medical Dick The second was Medical Davy The first had a Bloody Big Prick The second had Buckets of Gravy To show-- to show-- to show what medicals are. Then out spoke Medical Dick To his comrade Medical Davy 'I'd swap my Bloody Big Prick For you with your buckets of Gravy' To show-- to show-- to show what medicals are. 'Steady Medical Dick' Said Sturdy Medical Davy 'There's very little value in a prick When you haven't got the passage of the gravy.' To show-- to show-- to show what medicals are. 'Every bullock were a bull But for the little matter of a ballocks If your prick can keep the women full You'll find they never grumble at its small looks.' To show-- to show-- to show what medicals are.
