[Verse 1]
Oh it hCappen'd in Vienna not so Fvery long ago
When Cnot enough folks were getting G7sick,
That a Cstarving young physician
Tried to Fbetter his position
By dis Ccovering what made his G7patients tick.
[Chorus]
Oh, Doctor FFreud, oh, Doctor CFreud,
How I wish you had been otherwise em G7ployed,
For that Cset of circumstances
Sure en Fhances the finances
Of the Cfollowers of G7Doctor Sigmund CFreud.
[Verse 2]
He forCgot about sclerosis, but inFvented the psychosis,
And a Chundred ways that sex could be eG7njoyed.
He adCopted as his credo:
"Down ReFpression—Up Libido!
And that Cwas the start of Doctor Sigmund G7Freud.
[Chorus]
Oh, Doctor FFreud, oh, Doctor CFreud,
How I wish you had been otherwise em G7ployed,
For that Cset of circumstances
Sure en Fhances the finances
Of the Cfollowers of G7Doctor Sigmund CFreud.
[Verse 3]
Then he aCnalyzed the dreams of the tFeens and libertines,
And he Csubstituted monologues for G7pills.
He drew Ccrowds just like Wells-Sadler,
When aFlong come Jung and Adler,
Who said, "By CGod, there's gold in them thar G7ills."
[Chorus]
Oh, Doctor FFreud, oh, Doctor CFreud,
How I wish you had been otherwise em G7ployed,
For that Cset of circumstances
Sure en Fhances the finances
Of the Cfollowers of G7Doctor Sigmund CFreud.
[Verse 4]
They enCcountered no resistance when they sFerved as Freud's assistants,
As with CEgo and with Id they deftly G7toyed.
And inCstead of toting bed pans,
They bore Fanalytic dead pans—
Those Cambitious doctors Adler, Jung and G7Freud.
[Chorus]
Oh, Doctor FFreud, oh, Doctor CFreud,
How I wish you had been otherwise em G7ployed,
For that Cset of circumstances
Sure en Fhances the finances
Of the Cfollowers of G7Doctor Sigmund CFreud.
[Verse 5]
Now, the CBig Three have departed, but not so the Fcult they started—
It's been Ccarried on by many a goodly G7band.
And to Ctrauma, shock and war-shock,
Someone wFent and added Rorshach,
Now the Cthing has got completely out of G7hand.
[Chorus]
Oh, Doctor FFreud, oh, Doctor CFreud,
How I wish you had been otherwise em G7ployed,
For that Cset of circumstances
Sure en Fhances the finances
Of the Cfollowers of G7Doctor Sigmund CFreud.
[Verse 6]
Now old Cmen with double chinseys and a Fmillion would-be Kinseys
Will Cdiscuss it at the drop of a reG7pression.
Now, I Cwouldn't be complaining,
But for Fall the dough I'm paying,
To lie Cdown on someone's couch and say conG7fession.
[Chorus]
Oh, Doctor FFreud, oh, Doctor CFreud,
How I wish you had been otherwise em G7ployed,
For that Cset of circumstances
Sure en Fhances the finances
Of the Cfollowers of G7Doctor Sigmund CFreud.
