Hoagy Carmichael wrote the song "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" in 1946 and it became number 1 on the charts that year. The song was sung by Betty Hutton and the lyrics were by Paul F. Webster. It was made famous in the film "Stork Club" and here are some of stanzas: There's a doctor livin' in your town There's a lawyer and an Indian, too And neither doctor, lawyer nor Injun chief Could love you any more than I do Tell the doc to stick to his practice Tell the lawyer to settle his case Send the Injun chief and his tommy-hawk Back to little Rain-In-the-Face Aside from being a song totally non-PC, it couldn't be written today because of the deservedly-low standing of today's lawyers, doctors and the liberal hollywood elitists who wouldn't record it.
