The Lovin' Spoonful - Jug Band Music Lyrics
I was down in Savannah Eatn' cream and bananasWhen the heat just made me faintI began to get crosseyed I thought I was lostI'd begun to see things as they ain't.As the relatives gathered to see what's the matterThe doctor came to see was I fine.But the doctor said give him jug band music,It seems to make him feel just fine.I was told a little tail about a skinny as a railL.A. put cowboy with a headache He was hung up in the desert swappin' ratsAnd tryn' ta get a drink of water with his knees gettin' mud cakedAnd I'll tell you and exceptance how he stumbled into Memphis, TennesseeLookin' hard and gettin' dust baked.We gave 'im little water; a little bit of winehe opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine And the doctor said give him jug band musicit seems to make him feel just fineSo if you ever get sicklyget sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf and pull out a washboard; and play a guitar chord and do a little do it yourself.call on your neighbors to put down their laborsand come and play the hardware in timecause the doctor said give him jug band musicit seems to make him feel just fineI was floatin' in the oceangreased with suntan lotion when i got wiped out by a beach boyhe was surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get meand he dragged me by the armpit like a child's toyas we staggered into land with all the waiters eatn' sandwitcheswe tried to mooch a towel from the hoi poloihe emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mineand everybody knows that the very last line isthe doctor said give him jug band musicit seems to make him feel just fineand the doctor said give him jug band musicit seems to make him feel just fine.
