Lyrics The Health of Nations - The Chap

The Health of Nations

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
