Jug Band Music

I was down in Savannah 
  Eatn' cream and bananas 
  When the heat just made me faint 
  I began to get crosseyed 
  I thought I was lost 
  I'd begun to see things as they ain't. 
  As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter 
  The doctor came to see was I fine. 
  But the doctor said give him jug band music, 
  It seems to make him feel just fine. 

  I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail 
  LA put cowboy with a headache 
  He was hung up in the desert swappin' rats 
  And tryn' ta get a drink of water with his knees gettin' mud caked 
  And I'll tell you and exceptance how he stumbled into Memphis, Tennessee 
  Lookin' hard and gettin' dust baked. 
  We gave 'im little water; a little bit of wine 
  he opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine 
  And the doctor said give him jug band music 
  it seems to make him feel just fine 

  So if you ever get sickly 
  get sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf 
  and pull out a washboard; and play a guitar chord 
  and do a little do it yourself. 
  call on your neighbors to put down their labors 
  and come and play the hardware in time 
  cause the doctor said give him jug band music 
  it seems to make him feel just fine 

  I was floatin' in the ocean 
  greased with suntan lotion 
  when i got wiped out by a beach boy 
  he was surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get me 
  and he dragged me by the armpit like a child's toy 
  as we staggered into land with all the waiters eatn' sandwitches 
  we tried to mooch a towel from the hoi poloi 
  he emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mine 
  and everybody knows that the very last line is 
  the doctor said give him jug band music 
  it seems to make him feel just fine 

  and the doctor said give him jug band music 
  it seems to make him feel just fine.
