Misc Traditional – David Lazar - Doctor Freud (Guitar)

       C                        F
Oh it happen'd in Vienna not so very long ago

     C                             G7
When not enough folks were getting sick,

       C
That a starving young physician

         F
Tried to better his position

       C                      G7
By dis covering what made his patients tick.

           F                 C
Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,

                                     G7
How I wish you had been otherwise em ployed,

         C
For that set of circumstances

        F
Sure en hances the finances

       C            G7             C
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

      C                          F
He forgot about sclerosis, but invented the psychosis,

      C                               G7
And a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed.

     C
He adopted as his credo:

        F
"Down Repression—Up Libido!

         C                               G7
And that was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

           F                 C
Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,

                                     G7
How I wish you had been otherwise em ployed,

         C
For that set of circumstances

        F
Sure en hances the finances

       C            G7             C
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

         C                          F
Then he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines,

       C                          G7
And he substituted monologues for pills.

        C
He drew crowds just like Wells-Sadler,

      F
When along come Jung and Adler,

              C                              G7
Who said, "By God, there's gold in them thar ills."

           F                 C
Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,

                                     G7
How I wish you had been otherwise em ployed,

         C
For that set of circumstances

        F
Sure en hances the finances

       C            G7             C
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

       C                                  F
They encountered no resistance when they served as Freud's assistants,

        C                           G7
As with Ego and with Id they deftly toyed.

      C
And instead of toting bed pans,

          F
They bore analytic dead pans—

      C                                 G7
Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud.

           F                 C
Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,

                                     G7
How I wish you had been otherwise em ployed,

         C
For that set of circumstances

        F
Sure en hances the finances

       C            G7             C
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

         C                                       F
Now, the Big Three have departed, but not so the cult they started—

          C                           G7
It's been carried on by many a goodly band.

       C
And to trauma, shock and war-shock,

         F
Someone went and added Rorshach,

        C                               G7
Now the thing has got completely out of hand.

           F                 C
Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,

                                     G7
How I wish you had been otherwise em ployed,

         C
For that set of circumstances

        F
Sure en hances the finances

       C            G7             C
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

        C                              F
Now old men with double chinseys and a million would-be Kinseys

     C                             G7
Will discuss it at the drop of a repression.

       C
Now, I wouldn't be complaining,

        F
But for all the dough I'm paying,

       C                                  G7
To lie down on someone's couch and say confession.

           F                 C
Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,

                                     G7
How I wish you had been otherwise em ployed,

         C
For that set of circumstances

        F

       C            G7             C
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.
