The bouncy tune and rhythm of this song contrasts with its bleak subject matter: the frequently brutal therapies that psychiatric patients (particularly women) were subjected to in the 1960s and ‘70s.
[Verse 1]
Give me fifteen, give me fifteen, give me fifteen minutes
That is all I need to make the call
Give me fifteen, give me fifteen, give me fifteen minutes
Women are so simple after all
[Chorus]
In the time it takes to walk around the block
I can have you scheduled for electroshock
[Verse 2]
So give me fifteen, give me fifteen, give me fifteen minutes
Maybe you're unhappy or depressed
With only fifteen, only fifteen, only fifteen
I can diagnose before you get undressed
[Chorus]
Guess you really have to have a special touch
Course it helps if you don't really care that much
[Bridge]
Ladies can you hear me?
You come in here, looking like some hippie chick
Some Bolshevik
It doesn't even faze me
Cause there's a couple boxes
Self-appointed foxes
Put the chickens in
You're feminine
You're crazy
[Verse 3]
Give me fifteen, give me fifteen, give me fifteen
I'll evaluate a lady at a glance
With only fifteen, only fifteen, only fifteen
You're committed for the crime of lacking pants
[Chorus]
Women who complain about the time they're seen
Sing a different tune when they're on Thorazine
[Outro]
So give me fifteen
Give me fifteen, give me fifteen, give me fifteen
