Dinah Washington - Short John Lyrics
Short John is my doctor, and he sho' is good to meYes I'm puttin' on John down, Short John's my man and he sho' is good to meWhen I treat him right, I get the whole treatment for free!He examines me carefully, takes care of my illsYes he examines me carefully, and he takes care of my illsWell 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 sadCause the medicine he gave me was enough to drive most women stark ravin' madNow the other doctors checked me outCause they found nothing wrongWhen Short John looked me overI've got other ails that never shownI cried "Doctor!", I keep singing "Doctor, I need a treatment right awayFor you treat me so good, I could stand these treatments every day"I was so tired and sick, I could hardly talkHe 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!
