Lyrics
The Health of Nations
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Doctor Birch came round the house,
Took one long look, then grounded me and said
"You didn't take to heart what Doctor Smith Said"
"You didn't take to heart what Doctor Smith Said"
Doctor Smith, Doctor
Doctor Smith, in a nutshell,
Talked rent and trade, commodities and price,
I always fell asleep during his lecture,
I always fell asleep during his lecture,
Doctor Smith, Doctor
Doctor Birch, Doctor
Now Doctor Birch comes round the house,
With frightening regularity,
I remain grounded, couch-bound,
I think I always will
Always will, always
Always will, always
