Pete Seeger - Doctor Freud lyrics
Your rating:
Oh, it happened in Vienna not so very long ago When not enough folks were getting sick That a starving young physician tried to better his position By discovering what made his patients tick Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud How we wish you had been differently employed For this set of circumstances sure enhances the finances Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud He forgot about sclerosis but invented the psychosis Plus a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed He adopted as his credo: Down repression, Up Libido! That was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud How we wish you had been differently employed For this set of circumstances sure enhances the finances Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud He analyzed the dreams of the Teens and Libertines He substituted monologues for pills He drew crowds just like Wells Sadler when along came Jung and Adler They said: "By God, there's gold in them their hills" They encountered no resistance as they served as Freud's assistants And with ego and with id, they deftly toyed Instead of toting bedpans, they wore analytic deadpans Those ambitious Doctors Adler, Jung en Freud Now the big three have departed, but not so this thing they started It's been carried on by many a goodly band And to trauma, shock and war shock someone went and added Rorshach The thing has got completely out of hand Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud How we wish you had been differently employed For this set of circumstances sure enhances the finances Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud
