Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood Deals DOWN in Hollywood Got a '65 Chevy, WITH primered flames Traded for some powdered goods Jigsaw Jimmy, HE'S a runnin a gang But, I hear he's doin' O.K. Got a cozy little job Sells the mexican mob Packages of candy cane
CHORUS: He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood He's the one that makes you feel alright He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood HE'S GONNA BE YOUR FRANKENSTEIN
Cops on the corner always ignore Somebody's gettin paid Jimmy's got it wired LAW'S FOR hire Got it made in the shade Got a little hideaway, does business all day But at night he'll always be found Sellin' sugar to the sweet People on the street Call this Jimmy's town
CHORUS
I got one thing you'll understand He's not what you'd call a glamorous man Got one thing that's easily understood He's the only one THEY call DR. Feelgood Oh, Yeah
He'll tell you he's the king of these barrio streets Movin' up from Shangra-La Came by his wealth as a matter of luck Says he never broke no law Two-time loser runnin' out of juice Time to move out quick Heard a rumor goin' round Jimmy's goin' down This time it's gonna stick
CHORUS
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand Some people call him and evil man Let him introduce himself real good He's the only one they call DR. Feelgood
I've got one thing you'll understand He's not what you'd call a glamourous man Got one thing that's easily understood He's the only one they call DR. Feelgood
