The Ballad Of Sigmund Freud chords and lyrics - HARRY BELAFONTE

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
Well, it star[G]ted in Vienna,
not so many years ago,
when not enough folks were
[D]getting sick[G].
That a starving young physician
tried to better his [C]posi[G]tion
by discovering what
made his [D]pa tients [G]tick.
He forgot about sclerosis
and inven[C]ted the psychosis
and a [G]hundred ways that sex
could be en[D]joyed.
He adop[G]ted as his credo
down repres[C]sion of libido
and that [G]was the [D]start of Dr.
Sigmund [G]Freud.
Well, Dr. Freud, Dr. Freud,
Dr. Freud, Dr. Freud
How we wish you had been
differently [D]employed
But the [G]set of circumstances
still en[C]hances
The finances of the [G]followers
of [D]Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud
Well, he analyzed the dreams
of the [C]teens and libertines
[G]Substituted monologue for[D] pills
He drew [G]crowds just like Wells Sadler
When [C]along came Jung and Adler
And they [G]said,
by [D]God, there's gold in them thar [G]ills
They encountered no resistance
when they [C]served as Freud's assistants
As [G]with ego and with it they deftly [D]toyed
But in[G]stead of totin' bedpans,
they [C]wore analytic bedpans
Those ambitious [D]doctors
Edgar Young and [G]Freud
Well, Dr. Freud Dr. Freud
Was marching in
Was marching in
How we wish you had been
differently em[D]ployed
But the [G]set of circumstances
still en[C]hances the finances
Of the followers [D]of Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud
Now the big three have departed,
but not [C]so the cult they started,
no, [G]it's being carried
on by a woodly [D]band
And to [G]trauma shock and war shock,
[C]someone's gone and added Rorschach,
and [G]the thing has
[D]got completely out of [G]hand
So old boys with double chinsies
and a [C]thousand would -be kinsies,
they dis[G]cuss it at the
drop of [D]a repression
And I [G]wouldn't be complaining,
but for [C]all the loot I'm paying,
just to [G]lie on [D]someone's
couch and say con[G]fession
Well, Dr. Freud, cha -cha -cha,
oh, Dr. Freud, cha -cha -cha,
how we wish you had been
differently em[D]ployed.
But the [G]set of circumstances
still en[C]hances the finances
of the [G]followers [D]of Dr. Sigmund [G]Freud.
Stop it.
But the set of circumstances
[D]still en[C]hances the finances...
Well, that was beautiful, fellas.
Of the fol[G]lowers of [D]Dr. Sigmund [G]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.
