Lyrics
Wretched Old Mildred
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dressed in black in the outside world
But spotless white in the cage
Steely eyes staring down opposition
Mona Lisa smile barely masks her rage
Tyrant cold, sadistic ways, corruption of authority
Her power's absolute
Won't you come on through?
Wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred
Wicked Nurse Ratched
Capriciously revokes every privilege
Anytime that she is made displeased
Holding every hostage from your cigarettes
To all your food and even toiletries
Now circle 'round for therapy
When humiliation brings humility
Discussion leader dictatorship's the rule
Wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred
Wicked Nurse Ratched
Medication time is here - Now take your Thorazine
From this witch dresses as a nurse
As if, as if for Halloween
Medication time is here, I will do as I am told
I never knew the devil's hands could be
Could be so cold
Tyrant cold, sadistic ways, corruption of authority
Her power's absolute, you won't be leaving soon
Wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred
Wicked Nurse Ratched
Dressed in black in the outside world
But spotless white in the cage
Steely eyes staring down opposition
Mona Lisa smile barely masks her rage
She's a wretched old Mildred
Wretched old Mildred, wretched old Mildred
Wicked Nurse Ratched
