I Don't Want A Doctor 1919

I'm so awfully nervous
can't keep still.
Ev'rybody tells me
I look ill.
I know what I want
and what I need to get well.
But what I need and what I get
makes me want to yell.

Oh! I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
There's not a thing
that he can do for me.
I know I have a fever,
my pulse is very low,
I'm subject to heart failure,
any moment I may go.
But I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor,
their pills and bills
just set my brain a whirl.
Now a kiss will cure my fever
and a hug will cure my pulse.
Love will cure heart failure
and I know I'll get results,
but I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
all I want is a beautiful girl.

Oh! I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
There's not a thing
that he can do for me.
I know I have a fever,
my pulse is very low,
I'm subject to heart failure,
any moment I may go.
But I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor,
their pills and bills
just set my brain a whirl.
Now a kiss will cure my fever
and a hug will cure my pulse.
Love will cure heart failure
and I know I'll get results,
but I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
all I want is a beautiful girl.

When I'm with the girlies
watch your step.
Still they try to tell me
I need pep.
Because I feel blue
and I complain more or less.
They will insist I can't exist
till I answer yes.

Oh! I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
There's not a thing
that he can do for me.
I know I have a fever,
my pulse is very low,
I'm subject to heart failure,
any moment I may go.
But I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor,
their pills and bills
just set my brain a whirl.
Now a kiss will cure my fever
and a hug will cure my pulse.
Love will cure heart failure
and I know I'll get results,
but I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
all I want is a beautiful girl.

Oh! I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
There's not a thing
that he can do for me.
I know I have a fever,
my pulse is very low,
I'm subject to heart failure,
any moment I may go.
But I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor,
their pills and bills
just set my brain a whirl.
Now a kiss will cure my fever
and a hug will cure my pulse.
Love will cure heart failure
and I know I'll get results,
but I don't want a doctor
I don't want a doctor
all I want is a beautiful girl.
