You Shouldnt Call The Doctor If You Cant Afford The Bills

YOU SHOULDN’T CALL THE DOCTOR (IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE BILLS) As recorded by Dr. Feelgood (From the 1975 Album MALPRACTICE) [Verse 1] Girls if your heart is feeling sore Call the doctor and he’ll fix it for sure I’ll be over right away but you might find you have to pay For a private consultation and a guaranteed cure When you’re dying of a dreadful disease You don’t worry ’bout the medical fees And it’s too late to change your mind the doctors pulling down the blind And your temperature is rising to a hundred degrees [Verse 2] I’ll cuddle up beside you for a start And listen to the beating of your heart And then I’ll take you gently by the hand And ask you when the trouble first began And then he’ll look down deep into your eyes And if your temperature continues to rise There’s only one way to make it stop I’ll have to prescribe the strongest medicine I’ve got If this doesn’t cure you it’ll kill But I know it’s going to give you a thrill And now I’ve ever come across don’t complain about the cost You shouldn’t call the doctor if you can’t afford the bills [Guitar Solo]                     [Verse 3] I’ll cuddle up beside you for a start And listen to the beating of your heart And then he’ll take you gently by the hand And ask you when the trouble first began And then he’ll look down deep into your eyes And if your temperature continues to rise There’s only one way to make it stop I’ll have to prescribe the strongest medicine I’ve got If this doesn’t cure you it’ll kill But I know it’s going to give you a thrill And now I’ve come across don’t complain about the cost     G                                                      N.C.
