I'm trying to find all of the lyrics to a great song that was done by the Lovin' Spoonful called "Jugband Music." It could be that the song was also recorded by the Jim Kweskin Jugband and/or the Even Dozen Jugband (of which John Sebastian, of the Lovin' Spoonful, was a member), but I actually have no idea. I don't know. Sebastian might have even written it himself.

The lyrics I know go, as follows:

I was down in Savannah
Eatin' cream and banana
When the heat just made me faint
I'd begun to get cross-eyed
I thought I was lost
I'd begun to see things as they ain't

The relatives gather
To see what's the matter
The doctor came to see was I dyin'
But the doctor said just give him jugband music
It seems to make him feel so fine.

Well I was sinking in the ocean
Eatin' suntan lotion when I got knocked
Out by a seahorse...

[And later on it goes]

They gave him a little water a little bit a wine
He opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine
Because the doctor said just give him jugband music
It seems to make him feel so fine

Anyway, if anybody out there knows all of the lyrics to this song, please let me know. Or, if you know where I can find a recording of it, please let me know.

Thanks,
JAG
