[chorus] Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, I’m feeling blue. Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, it’s up to you. The drug stores on the corners Are filled with liquor mourners. I told a drug clerk my condition, He said, “Go see your physician!” Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, don’t feel my pulse. That’s not what I need for results. Write the prescription and please make it say “Take with your meals.” I eat ten times a day. Oh! Doctor, Oh! Doctor, help me pull thro’ For I’ll never get well ’till you do.
