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

El Doctor Birch vino a la casa,
Echó un vistazo, me dejó en tierra y dijo
"No tomaste en serio lo que dijo el Doctor Smith"
"No tomaste en serio lo que dijo el Doctor Smith"
Doctor Smith, Doctor
Doctor Smith, en pocas palabras,
Hablaba de alquiler y comercio, mercancías y precios,
Siempre me quedaba dormido durante su conferencia,
Siempre me quedaba dormido durante su conferencia,
Doctor Smith, Doctor
Doctor Birch, Doctor
Ahora el Doctor Birch viene a la casa,
Con una regularidad aterradora,
Sigo en tierra, postrado en el sofá,
Pienso que siempre lo estaré
Siempre lo estaré, siempre
Siempre lo estaré, siempre
