“Prostate cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system below the bladder. Abnormal growth of prostate tissue is usually detected through screening tests, typically blood tests that check for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Those with high levels of PSA in their blood are at increased risk for developing prostate cancer. Diagnosis requires a biopsy of the prostate.” [Wikipedia – Prostate Cancer]
LYRICS (Ben Marsh): [YouTube.com]
Oh the prostate, it’s a gland, dear
And it’s hidden deep inside
Has a shelf life that’s hard to pre-date
Cos we keep it, ah, out of sight
Like a walnut, kind of D shaped
Near the bladder, and rectum
Fancy gloves, oh, wears the doctor
If they check it, sticking fingers up your [doobee wapsie]
It’s a man thing, (it’s occasionally a trans-thing)
Helps make semen, really flow
Wrapped around your old urethra
If it’s working – you can go!
But the prostate can inflate, mate
Little walnut’s supersized!
More than shark bites: 1 in 8 men
Contract cancer, prostate cancer, in their lives
Someone’s Daddy. Someone’s Grandpa.
Someone’s husband. Someone’s son.
Some misfortune’s, round the corner.
But there’s something – yes there’s something that could be done
Now we got lucky, three years ago with our Grandad
They caught it early, and cut that bad boy out
He was generally fit. Had tried to ignore it.
Saved by a Geordie, a Geordie prostatectomy!
So in this last verse that we’re swinging hard
Trying to smash a masculine subject (taboo-m)
So spread the news round
Get your kecks down
Seek a doctor,
To Assess Ya,
Maybe Test Ya,
Get that old prostate checked
