A DEAR, KIND DOCTOR. Copyright, 1896, by Howard & Co. By Joseph Tabrar. 
Have you ever had a nagging at your heart? If you haven't, well I hope you never will; I believe that I've been stung by cupid's dart, Tho' for months I have been under Doctor Phil. Now the first time that he asked to see my throat, He took a little bottle from a shelf; On telling him my age he said, "How young!" Then I gently murmured to myself-Oh! 
Chorus. He's a dear, kind doctor, as clever as clever can be; He's a dear, kind doctor, and awfully fond of me. He can tell its Trilby when I pull at the surgery bell, But the moment he feels my pulse I say, "I feel quite well." 
First he said, "Undo the buttons of your coat-Now, dear madam, won't you kindly take a chair." And then, on gazing down my little throat, He said, "there's nothing much the matter there." Then he placed a little trumpet to his ear, And put the other end upon my chest; I murmured to myself, "Oh, what a dear!" Then inwardly, and solemnly, confessed- Oh!- Chorus. 
Yesterday, while looking gently in my eyes, He said, "Excuse me. dear, but gaze above." And then, between two gentle little sighs, "My darling." he exclaimed, "why you're in love." As I had a faint Idea that he was right, So didn't wish to cause him any strife; Instead of there resisting with my might, I contented right away to be his wife-Oh I- Chorus.
