The Tiger Lillies Abort the Child song lyrics

The little old lady waits down the alley

To take that child away

Her knitting needles between your thighs

Will kill that baby today

Abort the child, Abort the child

If you only wore a ring my dear

Then it would'nt have to die

For if the church approved your lust

You wouldn't have to cry

Abort the child, Abort the child

Your child would not be legitimate

That would be a disgrace

The church it does not approve

So you must save the face

Abort the child, Abort the child

The little old lady makes quite a good living

Let's hope her needles are clean

It's a risk to you life

But at least your reputation will be clean

Abort the child, Abort the child

Well you can't afford to keep it, dear

So baby it's bye bye bye

Because the church does not approve

Your baby must die

So abort the child, abort the child

Abort the child, abort the child

Abort... abort... abort... abort... abort...

The child
