Oh! Say! Doctor! 1909

"Oh! Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!"
said Mrs. Brown one night.
"My husband's health is failing him,
and something isn't right.
I took him to see Shakespeare,
he slept all thro' the play,
but last night at the Burlesque show,
he woke up right away;

He doesn't drink
He doesn't smoke
A game of cards he'll never play,
and once or twice he took advice,
down at the great Y.M.C.A.
He never yet has made a bet,
he thinks that gambling is a crime,
But Oh! Say! Doctor!
He falls for the ladies ev'ry time!

He doesn't drink
He doesn't smoke
A game of cards he'll never play,
and once or twice he took advice,
down at the great Y.M.C.A.
He never yet has made a bet,
he thinks that gambling is a crime,
But Oh! Say! Doctor!
He falls for the ladies ev'ry time!

The doctor said: "Well! Madame!
A case of nerves that's all."
But one night he saw Mister Brown,
right in a dancing hall,
A sweet girl's arms around him,
he patiently endured,
the doctor gave one look and said:
"He never can be cured;"

He doesn't drink
He doesn't smoke
A game of cards he'll never play,
and once or twice he took advice,
down at the great Y.M.C.A.
He never yet has made a bet,
he thinks that gambling is a crime,
But Oh! Say! Doctor!
He falls for the ladies ev'ry time!

He doesn't drink
He doesn't smoke
A game of cards he'll never play,
and once or twice he took advice,
down at the great Y.M.C.A.
He never yet has made a bet,
he thinks that gambling is a crime,
But Oh! Say! Doctor!
He falls for the ladies ev'ry time!

One day he went out walking
and in a shady nook,
he saw two girls
who took a swim,
right in a charming brook,
One girl saw Brownie looking,
and yelled with all her might,
the other said: "It's only Brown,
and Brownie is all right:"

He doesn't drink
He doesn't smoke
A game of cards he'll never play,
and once or twice he took advice,
down at the great Y.M.C.A.
He never yet has made a bet,
he thinks that gambling is a crime,
But Oh! Say! Doctor!
He falls for the ladies ev'ry time!

He doesn't drink
He doesn't smoke
A game of cards he'll never play,
and once or twice he took advice,
down at the great Y.M.C.A.
He never yet has made a bet,
he thinks that gambling is a crime,
But Oh! Say! Doctor!
He falls for the ladies ev'ry time!
