[INTRODUCTION]
Once I Dloved such a shattering phyGm6sician
Quite the Gmbest looking A7doctor in the Dstate
He looked Dafter my physical conGm6dition
And his Gmbedside A7manner was Dgreat
When I'd Bmgaze up and see him there aGm6bove me
Looking Gmless like a A7doctor than a DTurk
I was Bmtempted to whisper, "Do you Gm6love me
Or do you Gmmerely A7love your Dwork?"
[Verse 1]
He A7said my Dbronchial A7+tubes were enD6trancing
My epiDglottis A7+filled him with F#dimglee A7  
He simply Gloved my F#larynx and went Fwild aEbbout my B7pharynx
But he Em7never said he A7loved Dme 
[Verse 2]
He A7said my DepiA7+dermis was D6darling
And found my Dblood as A7+blue as could F#dimbe A7  
He went through Gwild ecF#statics when I Fshowed him Ebmy lymB7phatics
But he Em7never said he A7loved Dme  D7  
[Chorus 1]
And though, no Gdoubt,       G+it was Cnot very Cmsmart of me
I Gkept on a-D7wracking of my E7soul
To figure Aout          A7+why he Dloved every Dmpart of me
And Ayet not Gm6me as a Awhole 
[Verse 3]
By A7my eDsophaA7+gus he was D6ravished
EnthusiDastic A7+to a deF#dimgree A7  
He said 'twas Gjust eF#normous - my aFppendix EbvermB7formis
But he Em7never said he A7loved Dme 
[Verse 4]
He A7said my DcereA7+bellum was D6brilliant
And my Dcerebrum A7+far from N F#dimG A7  
I know he Gthought a F#lotta My Fmedulla EboblonB7gota
But he Em7never said he A7loved Dme 
[Verse 5]
He A7said my DmaxiA7+llaries were D6marvels
And found my Dsternum A7+stunning to F#dimsee A7  
He did a Gdouble F#hurdle when I Fshook my Ebpelvic B7girdle           
But he Em7never said he A7loved Dme D7  
[Chorus 2]
He seemed aGmused        G+when he Cfirst made a Cmtest of me
To Gfurther his D7medical E7art
Yet he reAfused        A7+when he'd Dfixed up the Dmrest of me
To Acure that Gm6ache in my Aheart
[Verse 6]
I A7know he Dthought my A7+pancreas D6perfect
And for my Dspleen was A7+keen as could F#dimbe A7  
He said, of Gall his F#sweeties I'd the Fsweetest Ebdia - B7betes
But he Em7never said he A7loved Dme

[INTRODUCTION]

D Gm6

Once I loved such a shattering physician

Gm A7 D

Quite the best looking doctor in the state

D Gm6

He looked after my physical condition

Gm A7 D

And his bedside manner was great

Bm Gm6

When I'd gaze up and see him there above me

Gm A7 D

Looking less like a doctor than a Turk

Bm Gm6

I was tempted to whisper, "Do you love me

Gm A7 D

Or do you merely love your work?"

[Verse 1]

A7 D A7+ D6

He said my bronchial tubes were entrancing

D A7+ F#dim A7

My epiglottis filled him with glee

G F# F Eb B7

He simply loved my larynx and went wild about my pharynx

Em7 A7 D

But he never said he loved me

[Verse 2]

A7 D A7+ D6

He said my epidermis was darling

D A7+ F#dim A7

And found my blood as blue as could be

G F# F Eb B7

He went through wild ecstatics when I showed him my lymphatics

Em7 A7 D D7

But he never said he loved me

[Chorus 1]

G G+ C Cm

And though, no doubt, it was not very smart of me

G D7 E7

I kept on a-wracking of my soul

A A7+ D Dm

To figure out why he loved every part of me

A Gm6 A

And yet not me as a whole

[Verse 3]

A7 D A7+ D6

By my esophagus he was ravished

D A7+ F#dim A7

Enthusiastic to a degree

G F# F Eb B7

He said 'twas just enormous - my appendix vermformis

Em7 A7 D

But he never said he loved me

[Verse 4]

A7 D A7+ D6

He said my cerebellum was brilliant

D A7+ F#dim A7

And my cerebrum far from N G

G F# F Eb B7

I know he thought a lotta My medulla oblongota

Em7 A7 D

But he never said he loved me

[Verse 5]

A7 D A7+ D6

He said my maxillaries were marvels

D A7+ F#dim A7

And found my sternum stunning to see

G F# F Eb B7

He did a double hurdle when I shook my pelvic girdle

Em7 A7 D D7

But he never said he loved me

[Chorus 2]

G G+ C Cm

He seemed amused when he first made a test of me

G D7 E7

To further his medical art

A A7+ D Dm

Yet he refused when he'd fixed up the rest of me

A Gm6 A

To cure that ache in my heart

[Verse 6]

A7 D A7+ D6

I know he thought my pancreas perfect

D A7+ F#dim A7

And for my spleen was keen as could be

G F# F Eb B7

He said, of all his sweeties I'd the sweetest dia - betes

Em7 A7 D

But he never said he loved me
