"Dr. Feelgood" Lyrics

Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
Deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy with primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy, he's runnin' a gang
But, I hear he's doin' okay
Got a cozy little job
Sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candycaine

[chorus]
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes you feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's gettin' paid
Jimmy's got it wired
Law's for hire
Got it made in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Sellin' sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy's town

[chorus]
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes you feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

I got one thing you'll understand (Dr. Feelgood)
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)
Got one thing that's easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)
He's the only one they call Dr. Feelgood
Oh, yeah

He'll tell you he's the king of these Barrio streets
Movin' up from Shangri-La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two-time loser runnin' out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumor goin' round
Jimmy's goin' down
This time it's gonna stick

[chorus]
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes you feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand (Dr. Feelgood)
Some people call him an evil man (Dr. Feelgood)
Let him introduce himself real good (Dr. Feelgood)
He's the only one they call Dr. Feelgood

I've got one thing you'll understand (Dr. Feelgood)
He's not what you'd call a glamourous man (Dr. Feelgood)
Got one thing that's easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)
He's the only one they call Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood [repeat]
