Doctor Jazz
Words by Walter Melrose and Music by Joseph "King" Oliver
Verse: Every body gets the blues now and then, and don't know what to do
I've had it happen many, many times to me [or before], and so have you.
But those days have gone and past, I found out what to do at last,
When I feel all down and out, You will hear me shout:
Chorus: Oh, Hello Central, give me Doctor Jazz,
He's got just what I need, I'll say he has.
When the world goes wrong, and I've got the blues,
He's the man who makes me get out both my dancing shoes.
The more I get, the more I want, it seems.
I page old Doctor Jazz in all my dreams,
When I'm trouble bound and mixed, He's the guy that gets me fixed,
Hello, Central, give me Doctor Jazz.
