They encountered no resistance when they served as Freud's assistants,
    C              G7
As with Ego and with Id they deftly toyed.

And instead of toting bed pans,

Those ambitious doctors Adler, Jung and Freud.

Now, the Big Three have departed, but not so the cult they started—
     C              G7
It's been carried on by many a goodly band.
    C

To lie down on someone's couch and say confession.
