A Better Way (first posted on this thread)
(words by A. and D. Jessup)
(Tune: J. Rodgers)

Amos' Comments: I wrote a song last month or so for Larry Dossey, on the subject of Alternative Therapy! -- he's a senior editor on the board of a publication in these parts on the subject -- and it had him ROTFL.   So it's only fair he should provide inspiration back to Catspaw!

Well, I knew a nurse named Suzy

She used to be a floozy,

Until she learned about the laying on of hands.
..C........................................C
Well, she found her patients healing
..C....................................C
And now she's promoting feeling
..C.......................A......A7......................D7
But the doctors on her ward don't understand.
..D7...........................G
She's found a better way.
..G............................C
She's found a better way.

She says, "I love the way it makes them feel,

And I'm awful glad it's really real.

She found a better way.

Yodelayeee, yodelaaye, yodeloooooo!

Now that surgeon, Billy Kazer,
He was handy with his razor.
He would operat e on organs, bones and toes!.
But he did some conscious growing
Found a whole new way of knowing
Now he straightens out their energetic flows!
He's found a better way.
He's found a better way.
With his powers of perception,
He succeeds without deception
He's found a better way.

Yodelayeee, yodelaaye, yodeloooooo!

I knew a pharmacist named Sam,
He didn't give a damn.
He used to think that drugs could make you well.
Then he finally got the word
And he started learning herbs,
And he told those druggy salesmen, "Go to hell."
He found a better way
He found a better way
Now he hands out astaxanthin
And the old folks take up dancin'
He got a better way.

Yodelayeee, yodelaaye, yodeloooooo!

There was a shrink named Slatter,
He thought people were just matter,
He'd say, "You know, it's all inside your brain."
Then he stepped outside his body
It made the universe look shoddy
And he found out what's behind those funny pains.
He found a better way.
He found a better way.
No more Freudian condemnations,
Now he asks about creations.
It's a better way.

Yodelayeee, yodelaaye, yodeloooooo!

There was an old GP named Harry
He used to be quite scary.
He'd hand out pills to everyone in town.
Then he had a revelation.
And he learnedcommunication
Now the patients come to see himjust to hang around!
He found a better way.
He found a better way.
And they think the world of him,
Although his nurses look quite grim,
He's found a better way.

Yodelayeee, yodelaaye, yodeloooooo!

There was a candy striper, Nancy
Well, her uniform was fancy
But she thought that giving shots was much too hard,
Well she had an inspiration,
Started practicing mediitation
Now she cures them through their auras
From over fifty yards!
She found a better way,
She found a better way!
When those fields get undistorted
They just heal, she has reported,
Its a better way.

Yodelayeee, yodelaaye, yodeloooooo!

Now I know a doc named Larry
He is far from ordinary
He always knows what goes on behind the scenes.
And he says with some effusion,
There is only one conclusion:
The ghost is twice as big as the machine.
He's found a better way.
He's found a better way.
So if you're going to treat the whole,
Don't forget to see the soul,
'Cuz it's a better way.
It's a better way
