Jethro Tull - The Curse

Young Gladys was a silky maiden 
At thirteen, she was going strong, yeah. 
Oh, Gladys. 

Nicely filled out, fully laden, 
But down below there was something wrong, yeah. 
Oh, Gladys. 

Nobody told her about the secrets 
That ladies have to hide 
Mom had no words to describe the things 
That happened inside. 
Need someone to help me, 
I feel that there's a curse on me, oh. 

Went down into the local disco, 
For what used to be the one night, yeah, 
Oh Gladys. 

Felt a searching hand to frisk her, 
Along the legs of the water line, yeah, 
Oh Gladys. 

Now Gladys knew she was in no condition 
In no mood to play 

I cracked a knee in her soft spot, nothing 
Had got in her way. 

I want no one to touch me, 
I feel there's a curse on me, oh. 

Directed down to the local drugstore 
Got fixed up, now she's doing fine, yeah 
Oh Gladys 

Equipped with various kinds of apparatus 
You know the feminine hygiene kind, yeah 
Oh Gladys 

Must have been a man to do these things 
Who won her fall from grace 
That day he programmed Eve

You should have seen the smile on his face 
He said ``You'll need someone to help you 
When you feel like cursing me'', oh.
