Cod Liver Oil |
| I’m a young married man and I’m tired of me life |
| For lately I married an ailing young wife |
| She does nothing all day, only sits down and sigh |
| Saying I wish to the lord that I only could die |
| Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor De’Jung |
| Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong |
| I’m afraid of me life, I’ll go down in the soil |
| If me wife don’t stop drinking your cod liver oil |
| Till a friend of me own came to see me one day |
| And he told me my wife was just pining away |
| But he afterwards told me that she would get strong |
| If I buy her a bottle from Dr De’Jung |
| Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor De’Jung |
| Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong |
| I’m afraid of me life, I’ll go down in the soil |
| If me wife don’t stop drinking your cod liver oil |
| So I bought her a bottle, t’was just for to try |
| And the way that she scoffed it you’d swear she was dry |
| I bought her another, it went just the same |
| Till I owned she’s got cod liver oil on the brain |
| Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor De’John |
| Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong |
| I’m afraid of me life, I’ll go down in the soil |
| If me wife don’t stop drinking your cod liver oil |
| Me house it resembles a big doctor’s shop |
| With bottles and bottles from bottom to top |
| And when in the morning the kettle do boil |
| You’d swear it was singing out cod liver oil |
| Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor De’John |
| Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong |
| I’m afraid of me life, I’ll go down in the soil |
| If me wife don’t stop drinking your cod liver oil |
