A DEAR, KIND DOCTOR | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Have you ever had a nagging in your heart If you haven't, well, I hope you never will I believe that I've been stung by cupid's dart Tho' for months I've been under Doctor Pill The first time that he asked to see my throat He took a little bottle from the shelf On telling him my age, he said, 'How young' Then I gently murmured to myself 'Oh.' Chorus: He's a dear, kind doctor, as clever as can be He's a dear, kind doctor and awfully fond of me He can tell it's Trilby when I pull at the surgery bell But the moment he feels my pulse, I say I feel quite well.
First he said 'Undo the buttons of your coat And then, dear, kindly take a chair' And then, on gazing down my throat He said, 'There's nothing much the matter there' Then he placed a little cornet to his ear And put the other end upon my chest I murmured to myself 'Oh what a dear' Then inwardly and solemnly confessed. Chorus: Yesterday, while looking gently in my eyes He said, 'Excuse me, dear, but gaze above' And then between two gentle little sighs 'My darling' he exclaimed, 'Why you're in love' I had a faint idea that he'd got 'oof' So I didn't wish to cause him any strife And instead of playing up the game of 'spoof' I consented there and then to be his wife.
