Testo The Physician - Cole Porter
Testo della canzone The Physician (Cole Porter), tratta dall'album Cole Porter's the New Yorkers (2017 Encores! Cast Recording)
Once I loved such a shattering physician
Quite the best-looking doctor in the state
He looked after my physical condition
And his bedside manner was great
When I'd gaze up and see him there above me
Looking less like a doctor than a Turk
I was tempted to whisper, "Do you love me
Or do you merely love your work?"
He said my bronchial tubes were entrancing
My epiglottis filled him with glee
He simply loved my larynx
And went wild about my pharynx
But he never said he loved me
He said my epidermis was darling
And found my blood as blue as can be
He went through wild ecstatics
When I showed him my lymphatics
But he never said he loved me
And though no doubt
It was not very smart of me
I kept on a-racking my soul
To figure out
Why he loved every part of me
And yet not me as a whole
With my esophagus he was relished
Enthusiastic to a degree
He said 'twas just enormous
My appendix vermiformis
But he never said he loved me
(Spoken)
Oh, he felt what was "innermost" about me
It was the overall picture that seemed to elude him
(Sung)
He said my cerebellum was brilliant
And my cerebrum far from "ng"
I know he thought a lot
On my medulla oblongata
But he never said he loved me
He said my maxillaries were marvels
And found my sternum stunning to see
He did a double hurdle
When I shook my pelvic girdle
But he never said he loved me
He seemed amused
When he first made a test of me
To further his medical art
Yet he refused
When he'd fix up the rest of me
To cure that ache in my heart
I know he thought my pancreas perfect
And for my spleen was keen as could be
He said of all his sweeties
I'd the sweetest diabetes
But he never said he loved me
