Long ago in England in 1592
There begins our tale, and all of it is true*
Through all of London bubonic plague did spread
Covering folk in weeping sores and leaving thousands dead
From towns and cities, doctors they did flee
Leaving their patients to die in misery
But one brave doctor stayed when all the cowards fled
(Might that have been because he was too sick to leave his bed?)
Forman made a plague cure and used it on himself
Then left his house to restore Londoners to health
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Simon Forman cured us of the plague
'Tis true some details are a little vague
But we know he used astrology and doses of strong water
So what if he be not a proper licensed doctor?
But then the doctors started to come back
And saw themselves replaced by a man they called a quack
They said: "This man has no medical degree!"
"He treats his patients with bad astrology"
So Forman vowed to get his license and make the doubters see
That he was now the best doctor in the city
"I will pay no pay no heed," he said, "to those who scoff and laugh
"For my satisfied patients will speak on my behalf"
Simon Forman cured us of the plague
'Tis true some details are a little vague
But we know he used astrology and doses of strong water
So what if he be not a proper licensed doctor?
Forman gained a license to everyone's surprise
A true and proper doctor, at last legitimised
But now he's risen up so far from whence he began
Will we common folk still see Forman as our man?
Simon Forman cured us of the plague
'Tis true some details are a little vague
But we know he used astrology and doses of strong water
So what if he was not a proper licensed doctor?
