The Doctor - Loudon Wainwright III

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Hon, you look older than me and I’m eighty-one

You’re falling apart and not living right»

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Wow, you’ve got to stop hanging out

With that old in crowd

Living’s a battle and you’re losing the fight»

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Oh boy, your body’s a temple, it’s not a toy

Fill up this here paper cup and give it to the nurse

Don’t spill it now»

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Friend, this should be the middle

But it could be the end

You better get better or you’re gonna get worse»

Oh, I went to the doctor.

Yes I did

Oh, I went to the doctor

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Her, we got back the x-ray everything’s a blur

But it’s all positive, that’s what every single test shows»

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Kid, it was something that you ate or drank

Or something that you did

It’s all in your head and

It’s spreadin on down to your toes»

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Please get on down to the drug store

And pick up some of these

And after that get on home and get into your bed»

I went to the doctor and the doctor said

«Shucks, that’s just about all, you owe me four hundred bucks

You can call me in the morning

That is if you’re not dead»

Oh, I went to the doctor

Oh, I went to the doctor

I don’t feel so good
