Privatising Broadmoor, NewsRevue Lyric, 14 July 1994

I don’t think I liked the idea of privatising high-security psychiatric Hospital Broadmoor

_ PRIVATISING BROADMOOR _

(To the Tune of “Lullaby of Broadway”)

CHORUS

MEDICS:Go on the streets and see the loons,
We’re privatising Broadmoor;
Releasing fruits and loony tunes,
While privatising Broadmoor;
Depressives under subway trains,
And crazies driving taxis;
So watch out for those red blood stains,
On Rippers, Bates’ and Max’s.

VERSE

SOLO MEDIC:When a Broadmoor inmate says he’s well,
He’s merely psychopathic;
And once he’s out you soon will tell,
He acts erratic.

OUTRO

(During the outro a “Horror Movie Crazy” enters with e.g. axe, bloodstains, general gothic gore)
MEDICS:Goodbye,
Crazies,
Goodbye,
The Tories are in power;
Sleep tight,
Ladies,
Sleep tight,
Just don’t take a shower;
CRAZY:Mother!!!!!!!!
MEDICS:We’ll get deep cuts privatising old Broadmoor.
CRAZY:Hi, honey, I’m home!!!!!
