Oh it happen'd in Vienna not so very long ago

He forgot about sclerosis, but invented the psychosis,

"Down Repression—Up Libido!
     C majorC                G7G7

Then he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines,
    C majorC             G7G7
And he substituted monologues for pills.
    C majorC
He drew crowds just like Wells-Sadler,

When along come Jung and Adler,

Who said, "By God, there's gold in them thar ills."

They encountered no resistance when they served as Freud's assistants,
    C majorC              G7G7
As with Ego and with Id they deftly toyed.
   C majorC
And instead of toting bed pans,
     FF
They bore analytic dead pans—
   C majorC                 G7G7
Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud.

It's been carried on by many a goodly band.
    C majorC
And to trauma, shock and war-shock,
     FF
Someone went and added Rorshach,
    C majorC                G7G7
Now the thing has got completely out of hand.

Will discuss it at the drop of a repression.
    C majorC
Now, I wouldn't be complaining,
    FF
But for all the dough I'm paying,
    C majorC                 G7G7
To lie down on someone's couch and say confession.
