[DR. MAHODAN]
Back in the ages primitive
When souls with devils were possessed
The witch man came and did his best
With yell and blow and expletive
And loudly beaten drum
And up and down and round about
He whirled with fearful fetish rout
And wild delirium
But rarely did the patient live
Back in the ages primitive

(spoken)
Back when the priests had things their way
They viewed insanity the same
Though now they would invoke thе name
Of heaven's hosts, and sing and pray

(sung)
In accеnts dolorous
And if they failed to ease his pains
They bound the poor soul down in chains
Condemned and infamous
And there in dungeon cell he lay
Back when the priests had things their way
Today psychologists agree
(spoken)
The insane man is only sick
The problem is psychiatric
See Jung and Adler, Freud and me
And we will analyze
And though it hurts, we probe the ruts
Of mental pains that drive men nuts
And heal their lunacies

(sung)
And from their devils being free
They all take up psychiatry
