Short John |
| Short John is my doctor, and he sho' is good to me Yes I’m puttin' on John down, Short John’s my man and he sho' is good to me When I treat him right, I get the whole treatment for free! |
| He examines me carefully, takes care of my ills |
| Yes he examines me carefully, and he takes care of my ills |
| Well he checks me all over, hen he gives me the right size pills! |
| He said, «lay down, stretch out, and please don’t look so sad» |
| Yes I laid down, I stretched out, and I stopped looking so sad |
| Cause the medicine he gave me was enough to drive most women stark ravin' mad |
| Now the other doctors checked me out |
| Cause they found nothing wrong |
| When Short John looked me over |
| I’ve got other ails that never shown |
| I cried «Doctor!», I keep singing «Doctor, I need a treatment right away |
| For you treat me so good, I could stand these treatments every day» |
| I was so tired and sick, I could hardly talk |
| He gave me my right size pill, I jumped up and started to walk and wail, |
| «Doctor, ooh doctor, another treatment right away! |
| Yes, you’ll treat me so good, I could stand those treatments every day» |
| Oo-oo-oo-ooh yeah! |
