DOCTOR OF MEDICINE

 

 

 

Said grim old Death, the Reaper

The doctors are so wise

With surgery and serums

Now ev'rybody dies.

My sythe is getting rusty

My work is growing scarce

This blade must be discarded

For serums and a hearse.

 

So Death put on a top-hat,

A gown as white as snow

And gathered up a needle

And started in to sew;

And millions die behind him

And thousands cringe before

For, blinded by his pretense

They fear him all the more.
