The Mavericks – Dr. Feelgood lyrics

Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy, primed flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' okay
Got a cozy little job, sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candy cane

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright

Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting 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
Selling sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Who call this Jimmy's town

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

He's gonna be your Frankenstein
I've got one thing you'll understand
He's not here in Dallas
What you'd call a very glamorous man, no

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright (alright)

He'll tell you he's the king
Of these barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri-La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumor going round
Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick, what'll he say?

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

Well, he's gonna be your Frankenstein
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him, some people call him
Some people call him an evil man

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright (alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright)

He's gonna be your Frankenstein
I've got one thing you'll understand
He's not, he's not, he's not
What he told us everything there is metal
