The Ballad Of Sigmund Freud

G                                  C
Well, it started in Vienna not so many years ago
G                                   D7
When not enough folks were getting sick
G                                         C
That a starving young physician tried to better his position
G                    D7                G
By discovering what made his patients tick
G                                  C
He forgot about sclerosis and invented the psychosis
G                                    D7
And a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed
G                         C
He adopted as his credo "down repression up libido!"
G                D7                      G
And that was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Chorus]
C                                    G
Well, Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud), oh Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud)
G                                     D7
How we wish you had been differently employed
       G                            C
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Verse]
G                                   C
Well, he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines
G                          D7
Substituted monologue for pills
G                                          C
He drew crowds just like Will Sadler, when along came Jung and Adler
G                D7                      G
And they said by God, there's gold in them darn' ills!
G                                          C
They encountered no resistance, when they served as Freud's assistants
G                                   D7
As with ego and with id they deftly toyed
G                                         C
But instead of toting bedpans, they wore analytic deadpans
G                D7                      G
Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud!

[Chorus]
C                                   G
Well, Doctor Freud, (Doctor Freud), goes marching in (goes marching in?)
G                                     D7
How we wish you had been differently employed
       G                            C
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Verse]
G                                  C
Now the big three have departed, but not so the code the started
G                                     D7
No, it's being carried on by a goodly band
G                                             C
And to trauma shock and more shock, someone's gone and added Rorschach
G                         D7                 G
And the whole thing's got completely out of hand!
G                                  C
So old boys with double chinsies, and a thousand would-be Kinseys
G                                   D7
They discuss it at the drop of a repression
G                                         C
And I wouldn't be complaining, but for all the loot I'm paying
G                        D7              G
Just to lie on someone's couch and say confession?

[Chorus]
C                                   G
Well, Doctor Freud (cha cha cha), oh Doctor Freud (cha cha cha)
G                                     D7
How we wish you had been differently employed
       G                            C
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud

[Outro]
 (Soft, slow and sweet)
       G                            C
But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances
        G           D7              G
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud, cha cha cha
