Well, it started in Vienna,
not so many years ago,
when not enough folks were
getting sick.
That a starving young physician
tried to better his position
by discovering what
made his pa tients tick.
He forgot about sclerosis
and invented the psychosis
and a hundred ways that sex
could be enjoyed.
He adopted as his credo
down repression of libido
and that was the start of Dr.
Sigmund Freud.
Well, Dr. Freud, Dr. Freud,
Dr. Freud, Dr. Freud
How we wish you had been
differently employed
But the set of circumstances
still enhances
The finances of the followers
of Dr. Sigmund Freud
Well, he analyzed the dreams
of the teens and libertines
Substituted monologue for pills
He drew crowds just like Wells Sadler
When along came Jung and Adler
And they said,
by God, there's gold in them thar ills
They encountered no resistance
when they served as Freud's assistants
As with ego and with it they deftly toyed
But instead of totin' bedpans,
they wore analytic bedpans
Those ambitious doctors
Edgar Young and Freud
Well, Dr. Freud Dr. Freud
Was marching in
Was marching in
How we wish you had been
differently employed
But the set of circumstances
still enhances the finances
Of the followers of Dr. Sigmund Freud
Now the big three have departed,
but not so the cult they started,
no, it's being carried
on by a woodly band
And to trauma shock and war shock,
someone's gone and added Rorschach,
and the thing has
got completely out of hand
So old boys with double chinsies
and a thousand would -be kinsies,
they discuss it at the
drop of a repression
And I wouldn't be complaining,
but for all the loot I'm paying,
just to lie on someone's
couch and say confession
Well, Dr. Freud, cha -cha -cha,
oh, Dr. Freud, cha -cha -cha,
how we wish you had been
differently employed.
But the set of circumstances
still enhances the finances
of the followers of Dr. Sigmund Freud.
Stop it.
But the set of circumstances
still enhances the finances...
Well, that was beautiful, fellas.
Of the followers of Dr. Sigmund Freud,
cha -cha -cha!

The next artist is a young woman
all of us in the field of folk music
referred to as the first lady
of the folk song.
I had the pleasure of working with her
after many years of admiring her
on a television show
that we did last season.
Those of us who know her
and those of us who love her
call her Odetta.
