Spoonful Lovin - Jug Band Music Lyrics

I was down in Savannah

Eatn' Cream and Bannanas

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

L.A. 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 Tenassee

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 withsuntan 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 staggerd into land with all the waitors eatn' sandwitches

we tried to mooch a towl from the harpoloy

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.
