Let me tell you bout a medical man
A hippocratic genius, with power in his hands
Kept his secrets in a little black book
Could cure your ills with just one look
You got aches and pains and strains
You're getting cramps in the night
Well, he can bring you up, when you're feeling down
He's got that medicine take away your frown
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
He's got his bag full of magic tricks
Don't need no voodoo or a solar eclipse
You've got troubles, a pain in your head
And you feel so nauseous you go back to bed
You got aches and pains and strains
You can't explain why things go bump in the night
He's got the medicine to make you smile
And social prescribing he's been doing for a while
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
Now the people they're worried, they're feeling low, low, low
Cos the word word got around that Dr John has got to go, go go
Yeah, everybody's wondering who'll cure their ills
Cos there ain't no other Dr with Dr John's skills
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
YOU NEED A DOSE OF DR JOHN
