Chad Mitchell Trio - The Ballad of Sigmund Freud lyrics

Now we'd like to tell you the story of probably the grandfather of all modern day psychoan*lysts, the great Doctor Sigmund Freud. Well, it started in Vienna not so many years 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 He forgot about sclerosis and invented the psychosis And a hundred ways that s** could be enjoyed He adopted as his credo "down repression up libido!" And that was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud Well, Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud), oh Doctor Freud (Doctor Freud) How we wish you had been differently employed But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud Well, he an*lyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines Substituted monologue for pills He drew crowds just like Will Sadler, when along came Jung and Adler And they said by God, there's gold in them darn' ills! They encountered no resistance, when they served as Freud's a**istants As with ego and with id they deftly toyed But instead of toting bedpans, they wore an*lytic deadpans Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud! Well, Doctor Freud, (Doctor Freud), goes marching in (goes marching in?) How we wish you had been differently employed But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud Now the big three have departed, but not so the code the started No, it's being carried on by a goodly band And to trauma shock and more shock, someone's gone and added Rorschach And the whole thing's got completely out of hand! So old boys with double chinsies, and a thousand would-be Kinseys They discuss it at the drop of a repression And I wouldn't be complaining, but for all the loot I'm paying Just to lie on someone's couch and say confession? Well, Doctor Freud (cha cha cha), oh Doctor Freud (cha cha cha) How we wish you had been differently employed But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud (soft) But the set of circumstances still enhances the finances (that was beautiful, fellas) Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud, cha cha cha
