Menstruation Blues

Dedicated to the NSW female Builder’s Labourers who were in the process of getting menstruation allowances before the NSW Builder’s Labourers were disbanded by the maoist Victorian Builder’s Labourers,

(Chorus)

I’ve got the menstruation blues

I’ve got the menstruation blues

I’ve got the menstruation blues

And I’ve got ’em so hard

I don’t know how to loose them

 

1

I can feel my life blood flowing

A "flowing down the drain

I can feel my life blood flowing

A flowing down the drain

And the hardest thing to face

That next month it’s all goin’ to happen again.

 

(Chorus)

 

2

I got a pain in my guts

And my head is spinning around

I got a pain in my guts

And my head is spinning around

I feel like the lowest kind of animal

Crawling on the ground.

 

3

I can’t chuck - I can’t even fuck

Honey this thing has put me out of luck

I’ve got the menstruation blues

I’ve got the menstruation blues

And I’ve got ’em so hard

I don’t know how to loose them.

 

4

No-one wants to mouth around that fishy old smell

Lordy I’m so lonely I feel like hell

Ive got the menstruation blues

I’ve got the menstruation blues

And [ve got ’em so hard

I don’t know how to loose them.

 

5

I had to spend my dope money

On a bunch of fanny rags

I spend my dope money on a bunch of fanny rags

I tell you this thing is getting to be one

Hell of a drag.

 

(Chorus)
