Oh, I take it back. He made a disc with Chuck Carbo. The track is on it:
Here's the CD listing

The short sample of Average Kind of Guy is a little hard to understand and fades in and out in the middle of the song:

...I'm overworked, and underpaid,
Underloved and overlaid
Oh me, oh, me, oh my
I'm just an average kind of guy
Love my kids, but I hate my bills....

Are you sure Dr. John did "Average kinda Guy"? I am having no luck fiding a reference to it...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but seeing as I've found a few lyrical goodies here already, I thought I'd cast my net here (pun unintended). I'm actually looking for two lyrics, namely the abovementioned - Average Kinda Guy by Dr. John (lyrics by Doc Pomus I think) from the album "Brightest Smile In Town. I used to have that record on vinyl, but someone borrowed it about twelve years back, and now I'm stuck in trying to recapture those wistfully funny lyrics.
AND, if it's possible please, does anyone have the lyrics to "Oakey Strike Eviction" by Jack The Lad? That record I DO have, but I'm blest if I'm able to decipher anything much of that Geordie stuff. A fiend of mine claims to have met the Geordie Mafia by the way. -The made him an offer he couldn't understand....
