Subject: Lyr Add: DOCTOR QUINCY QUACK (Homer & Jethro)
I don't recognize the tune of this one, so I don't know if it's a parody. This song came out in 1967, so it could not have been inspired by the American TV series called "Quincy, M.E." that ran from 1976 to 1983.
DOCTOR QUINCY QUACK
As sung by Homer & Jethro
1. There's a doctor in our town.
He's a cut-up. He's a clown,
A master with a story or a joke.
He does gags and imitations
While doin' operations.
He keeps his patients laughin' till they croak.
2. Doctor Quack will never fail you.
He'll cure whatever ails you,
Or otherwise, he'll give your money back;
And, in case it's necessary,
He'll call the mortuary,
Our funny fam'ly doctor, Quincy Quack.
3. He devoted all his skill
In developing a pill
To pep up pooped-out people instantly.
Well, it pepped 'em up all right.
They got higher than a kite.
They had to sober up on LSD.
4. Once when I was feelin' low,
To this doctor I did go.
He said, "I'll make you well if there's a chance.
I will cure or I will kill you.
Either way, I'll have to bill you;
Therefore, you'll have to pay me in advance."
