David Lazar - Dr Freud lyrics

rate me

Oh, it happened in Vienna, not so very long ago, <br />

When not too many folks were getting sick<br />

That a starving young physician tried to better his position<br />

By discovering what made his patients tick<br />

<br />

Oh, Dr. Freud, oh, Dr. Freud<br />

How I wish that you'd been otherwise employed<br />

For the set of circumstances sure enhances the finances<br />

Of the followers of Dr. Sigmund Freud<br />

<br />

He forgot about sclerosis, but invented the psychosis<br />

And a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed<br />

He adopted as his credo, "Down repression, up libido"<br />

And that was the start of Dr. Sigmund Freud<br />

<br />

Now he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines<br />

And he substituted monologues for pills<br />

He drew crowds just like Wells Sadler, when along came Jung &<br />

Adler<br />

Who said, "By God, there's gold in them thar ills"<br />

<br />

They encountered no resistance when they served as Freud's<br />

Assistants<br />

As with Ego and with Id, they deftly toyed<br />

And instead of toting bedpans, they bore analytic deadpans<br />

Those ambitious doctors, Adler, Jung, and Freud<br />

<br />

Now the big three have departed, not so the cult they started<br />

It's been carried on by many a goodly band<br />

And to trauma, shock, and more shock, someone went and added<br />

Rorshach<br />

Now the thing has got completely out of hand<br />

<br />

Now old men with double chinseys and a million would be Kinseys<br />

Will discuss it at the drop of a repression<br />

I wouldn't be complaining, but for all the dough I'm paying<br />

To lie on someone's couch and say confession
