Story Behind the Song
This is about my first visit to the gynecologist. Yes . . . well . . . I feel that writing anything else now would be futile. So, enjoy. The song that is, not your visit. Though I hope you do enjoy your visit. Alternatively, if you don't have a visit of your own, I hope you enjoy hearing about the visit of a close friend or relative. And if not, then all the more reason to . . . um . . .enjoy the song . . .and ah . . .not the visit.
Lyrics
Waiting room.
Vaginas on the wall.
Did they have to build extra space for them all?
Every angle, every size,
framed just for my virgin eyes
I looked, then sat and read a Cosmo magazine
The lady asked,
"What's your purpose here?"
Shrugged my shoulders, looked at her, said
"Basic pap smear"
Gonorrhea, chlamydea, other STD's
It was very highly impossibleea I had any of these
And my mind went back to last night at dinner
I think the conversation made my dad and brother thinner
My head said, yes
But my body said, no
And my mom said,
"Mindy, you have to go. Let them open you up and make sure things are fine"
I said, "There's 10 million other things that I'd rather do with my time"
But here I am naked
Dressed in paper, covering me as much as it could
Look in the mirror at my reflection, damn I look good
But with the doctor I began to question its worth
With no excessive itching, or funky discharge, or expansion for birth
And as I laid and spread my thighs
I began to hypothesize
That a virgin and a gynecologist
Are like a convict and an archeologist
One wants to leave the scene of crime
The other wants to stay and explore
While one is digging and paid for her time
The other one is heading straight for the door
I'm so sorry I digress
There's so much more yet to confess
Examination time
The rubber gloves, the gooey gel, I really was not feeling well
And just as my nausea was climbing
I thought that photo bulbs would really flash and I would have to autograph
Pictures of my unbroken hymen
And my body said, GO
But the stirrups said, STAY
And does this woman really make a living this way?
Because someone I had just met here
Now had her hands, oy veyishmear
Upon my uterus
Get your hands off my uterus
Please, get your hands off my uterus
And my fallopian tubes
