[INTRODUCTION]
[D] [Gm6]
Once I loved such a shattering physician
[Gm] [A7] [D]
Quite the best looking doctor in the state
[D] [Gm6]
He looked after my physical condition
[Gm] [A7] [D]
And his bedside manner was great
[Bm] [Gm6]
When I'd gaze up and see him there above me
[Gm] [A7] [D]
Looking less like a doctor than a Turk
[Bm] [Gm6]
I was tempted to whisper, "Do you love me
[Gm] [A7] [D]
Or do you merely love your work?"
Verse 1
[A7] [D] [A7+] [D6]
He said my bronchial tubes were entrancing
[D] [A7+] [F#dim] [A7]
My epiglottis filled him with glee
[G] [F#] [F] [Eb] [B7]
He simply loved my larynx and went wild about my pharynx
[Em7] [A7] [D]
But he never said he loved me
Verse 2
[A7] [D] [A7+] [D6]
He said my epidermis was darling
[D] [A7+] [F#dim] [A7]
And found my blood as blue as could be
[G] [F#] [F] [Eb] [B7]
He went through wild ecstatics when I showed him my lymphatics
[Em7] [A7] [D] [D7]
But he never said he loved me
Chorus 1
[G] [G+] [C] [Cm]
And though, no doubt, it was not very smart of me
[G] [D7] [E7]
I kept on a-wracking of my soul
[A] [A7+] [D] [Dm]
To figure out why he loved every part of me
[A] [Gm6] [A]
And yet not me as a whole
Verse 3
[A7] [D] [A7+] [D6]
By my esophagus he was ravished
[D] [A7+] [F#dim] [A7]
Enthusiastic to a degree
[G] [F#] [F] [Eb] [B7]
He said 'twas just enormous - my appendix vermformis
[Em7] [A7] [D]
But he never said he loved me
Verse 4
[A7] [D] [A7+] [D6]
He said my cerebellum was brilliant
[D] [A7+] [F#dim] [A7]
And my cerebrum far from N G
[G] [F#] [F] [Eb] [B7]
I know he thought a lotta My medulla oblongota
[Em7] [A7] [D]
But he never said he loved me
Verse 5
[A7] [D] [A7+] [D6]
He said my maxillaries were marvels
[D] [A7+] [F#dim] [A7]
And found my sternum stunning to see
[G] [F#] [F] [Eb] [B7]
He did a double hurdle when I shook my pelvic girdle
[Em7] [A7] [D] [D7]
But he never said he loved me
Chorus 2
[G] [G+] [C] [Cm]
He seemed amused when he first made a test of me
[G] [D7] [E7]
To further his medical art
[A] [A7+] [D] [Dm]
Yet he refused when he'd fixed up the rest of me
[A] [Gm6] [A]
To cure that ache in my heart
Verse 6
[A7] [D] [A7+] [D6]
I know he thought my pancreas perfect
[D] [A7+] [F#dim] [A7]
And for my spleen was keen as could be
[G] [F#] [F] [Eb] [B7]
He said, of all his sweeties I'd the sweetest dia - betes
[Em7] [A7] [D]
But he never said he loved me
