| Lyrics: | The Doctor
[words by Thomas Hood(1798-1845), music by Ernest Newton]
There once
was a doctor,(no foe to the proctor)
A physic concoctor, whose dose was so pat,
However it
acted, one speech it extracted
"Yes Yes", said the doctor, "I meant it for
that!"
cho: He meant it for that,he meant it for that,
There's no doubt about
it, he meant it for that.
And first, all "unaisy", like woman that's crazy
In flies
Mrs. Casey---"Do come to poor Pat!
The blood's running faster, he's torn off the
plaster!"
"Yes Yes", said the doctor, "I meant it for that!"
cho:
Anon,
with an antic, quite strange and romantic
A woman comes frantic ---"What could you be
at?
My darling deasr Alick, you've sent him oxalic!"
"Yes Yes", said the doctor, "I meant
it for that!"
cho:
Then in comes another, dispatched by his mother,
A
blubbering brother who gives a rat-tat;
"Oh poor little sister has licked off a
blister!"
"Yes Yes", said the doctor, "I meant it for that!"
cho:
Now
home comes the flunkey, his own powder monkey
But dull as a donkey, with basket and that
---
The draught for the squire, sir, he chucked in the fire, sir,
"Yes Yes", said the
doctor, "I meant it for that!"
cho:
The next is the pompous head-beadle, old
Bumpus
"Lord! Here is a rumpus. That pauper, old Nat
In some drunken notion has drunk up
his lotion!"
"Yes Yes", said the doctor, "I meant it for that!"
cho:
At
last comes a servant in grief very fervent
"Alas! Doctor Derwent, poor master is
flat!
He's drawn his last breath, sir. That dose was his death, sir!
"Yes Yes", said the
doctor, "I meant it for that!"
