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

Then he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines,
       C                          G7
And he substituted monologues for pills.

When along come Jung and Adler,

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

       C                                  F
They encountered no resistance when they served as Freud's assistants,
        C                           G7
As with Ego and with Id they deftly toyed.
      C
And instead of toting bed pans,
          F
They bore analytic dead pans—
      C                                 G7
Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud.

Now, the Big Three have departed, but not so the cult they started—
          C                           G7
It's been carried on by many a goodly band.

         F
Someone went and added Rorshach,

But for all the dough I'm paying,
       C                                  G7
To lie down on someone's couch and say confession.

Oh, Doctor Freud, oh, Doctor Freud,
                                     G7
