Major Doctor Blues: The Song

Major Doctor Blues

(sung to the tune “Don’t Start Me Talking”)

I went to the doctor
said I could not breathe
He looked me over
and said take some of these

He gave me Prozac
for my high anxiety
He gave me Prozac
said there was nothing he could see
lab tests are normal
blood counts are right
From all his experience
must be what I ate last night

I got the doctor, major doctor blues
I got the doctor, major doctor blues
once he’s made his mind up
there’s nothing you can do

He asks you questions
says how you feeling man
He wants your symptoms
then says that’s not covered on your plan
It’ll take more than a tsunami
to change the way things are
because getting doctors’ help
is like wishing on a star

I got the doctor, major doctor blues
I got the doctor, major doctor blues
Once he’s made his mind up
there’s nothing you can do

My brain is fading, no I can’t wait
if I don’t get help, I’ll be facing heaven’s gate

I got the doctor, major doctor blues
I got the doctor, major doctor blues
Once he’s made his mind up
there’s nothing you can do
