INFANT DOE
Most of the lyrics for one of their songs, “Infant Doe” are printed on the album cover of Bukkake Hit Parade. The story is of the tragic end of a deformed baby and is probably something that was in the newspaper. “Infant Doe” was performed straight, though in their inimitable style, and shows that the Gynecologists had heart. The song is included on a compilation album called The Master Tape, Vol. 2.
Born with Down Syndrome
His parents wouldn’t take him home
They didn’t buy him a casket
They threw him in a cardboard box (the song actually says a “Hefty bag”)
He was anonymous
He had no esophagus
He’s infant Doe
