Oh it happen'd in Vienna not so very long ago 
     C                             G7 
When not enough folks were getting sick,

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud, 
                                     G7
