Cry Tough

Already late to the union hall

Tired and dragging my feet on the ground

Doctor Feelgood lived right down my street

I flew on over and he heard me speak

"Doctor, please

I'm getting weak in the knees"

And he said, "Cry tough

Son, cry tough"

Ooh, I told him 'bout my dancing blues

And why I had to feel the band tonight

"Doctor Feelgood, I promised this lady

If I can't dance, she gonna break my nose"

He said, "Easy now, boy

'Cause I've got the antidote"

And he said

"Cry tough, throw that girl on the floor

Help her up and watch her beg for more

Cry tough, put down your soul

You just need another shot of rock and roll"

Just need another shot of rock and roll

Take it away

Well, I've been a cripple since they threw me in school

Until I caught this new kind of thrill

Called it "dancing fever" and I had to have it

Crazy Doctor Feelgood encouraged my habits

All his time he would devote

'Til he discovered the antidote

And he said

"Cry tough, burn your crutches too

You were born to be a dancing fool

Cry tough, put down your soul

You just need another shot of rock and roll"

Yeah, just need another shot of rock and roll

Look out, ow

Need another shot of rock and roll

Need another shot of rock and roll

Need another shot of rock and roll

Need another shot of rock and roll
