Dr. Hackenbush - Groucho Marx

So this is Dr. Hackenbush, the famous medico

You’re welcome Dr. Hackenbush!

(If that’s the case, I’ll go)

Oh no, you mustn’t go!

(Who said I mustn’t go?

The only reason that I came is so that I can go)

I’m Dr. Hackenbush

My medical standing’s very high

Well anyways, ladies and gentlemen I

Am Dr. Hackenbush

(He's Dr. Hackenbush!)

I’m Dr. Hackenbush

As a matter of fact, to be exact

I’m Dr. Hackenbush

(I'm sure that they’d all like to hear

Some facts about your great career)

Although my horn I hate to blow

There’s one thing that you ought to know

I’m Dr. Hackenbush

Which all my friends will verify

Well anyways, ladies and gentlemen I

Am Dr. Hackenbush

(He's Dr. Hackenbush!)

I’m Dr. Hackenbush

You never would guess, but nevertheless

I’m Dr. Hackenbush!

For ailments abdominal, my charge is a nominal

Though I’m great for, I’ve a rate for tonsillectomy

Sick and healthy, poor and wealthy, come direct to me

«Oh, God bless you!»

they yell

When I send them home well

But they never, no they never send a check to me

I’ve won a claim for curing ills, both in the north and south

You’ll find my name just like my pills: In everybody’s mouth

I’ve never lost a case (he's never lost a case!)

I’ve lost a lot of patience but I’ve never lost a case

My diagnosis never fails, I know just what to do

Whenever anybody ails, I’m sympathetic too

My heart within me melts (his heart within him melts!)

No matter what I treat them for, they die from something else

When your nerves start to rock, put your faith in your doc

When you’re sick, he will stick to the end

With the possible exception of your mother

A doctor’s a man’s best friend

(Yes, a doctor’s a man’s best friend)

A doctor’s a man’s best friend, oh

A doctor’s a man’s best friend

(A doctor is a man’s best friend)

A doctor is a man’s best friend

Right or wrong, wrong or right

Night and day, day and night

On his call you can always depend

With the possible exception of your mother and your father

And your uncles and your brothers

And your nephews and your nieces

And your sisters and your cousins

Whom you number by the dozens

A doctor is a man’s best friend
