There was a kind ol' doctor, in a small country town
He had a pet lion who'd never let him down
They'd stroll through the fields, in the golden sunshine
Side by side together, feeling mighty fine
The doctor he'd whistle, and the lion would roar
Friendly as a kitten, this lion he adored
Kids would laugh and holler"Here comes ol' Doc and Lou"
A sight you wouldn't forget, no matter what you do
Oh, Doc and his lion, walking hand in paw
In a land of wonder, by the country law
Healing hearts and making smiles, wherever they would go
Oh, Doc and his lion, the best friends you'll ever know
Every time a child fell, and scraped their little knee
Doc would bring out Lou, to comfort them, you see
With a purr so gentle, took away the pain
Magic from a lion's heart, love that would remain
In the evening twilight, beneath the starry sky
Doc and his lion would gently say goodbyes
They'd sit by the fire, in a cabin warm and bright
Whisperin' tales of kindness, until the morning light
Oh, Doc and his lion, walking hand in paw
In a land of wonder, by the country law
Healing hearts and making smiles, wherever they would go
Oh, Doc and his lion, the best friends you'll ever know
