DOCTOR FREUD
As sung by Pete Seeger on "Gazette, Vol. 1" (1958)

1. Oh, it happened in Vienna
Not so very long 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.

CHORUS: Oh, Doctor Freud,
Oh, Doctor Freud,
How we wish you had been differently employed,
For this set of circumstances
Sure enhances the finances
Of the followers of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

2. He forgot about sclerosis
But invented the psychosis,
Plus a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed
He adopted as his credo,
"Down repression! Up libido!"
That was the start of Doctor Sigmund Freud.

3. He analyzed the dreams
Of the teens and libertines.
He substituted monologues for pills.
He drew crowds just like Wells Sadler,
When along came Jung and Adler,
Who said,"By God, there's gold in them thar ills."

4. They encountered no resistance
As they served as Freud's assistants
And with ego and with id they deftly toyed.
Instead of toting bedpans,
They bore analytic deadpans,
Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung, and Freud.

5. Now the big three have departed,
But not so this thing they've started.
It's been carried on by many a goodly band,
And to trauma, shock, and war shock
Some one went and added Rorschach.
This thing has got completely out of hand.
