Victoria (Tune - Camelot: Camelot)

Another one written by Julian Quasi Recitativo It's true! It's true! You won't believe your ears But in our State all reason disappears Cantabile A law was made not many months ago here The sex we see in films can't go too far And there's a legal limit to what shows here In Victoria Four-lettered words upon the stage are frowned on Norm and Ahmed raised a great hoo-hah The Boys in the Band has only been ground down In Victoria Victoria, Victoria I know it sounds a bit bizarre In Victoria, Victoria That's how conditions are No film may show us cruelty or torture At yet we still hang people by the neck In short we must agree That all the Powers-that-be Guard our morally well-sheltered life, by heck (oops!) In Victoria No nipples without tassels may be seen here There's a limit to the show tween thigh and hip Soon babies in the nude will be obscene here With censorship But just remember when they cut those scenes here We'll find the task much easier by far To keep chaste every daughter in her teens here In Victoria Chastity, prudery Keep mind and body clean Pornography, obscenity Must never intervene We must not pronounce words like … or … We must not speak of things that old men fear We're all enjoined to strive To ensure we keep alive The morals that were instituted in the years of Queen Victoria
