They've Got Me Doin' It Now 1913

Doctor, hurry, won't you hurry up
and stop my worry,
can't you see that
I am all a flurry?
I've been troubled
with an ailment greatly,
here lately,
headache fixer,
Oh, you wonderful prescription mixer,
won't you tell me why
my shoulders keep going up in the air?

Any little rag will start me doin' it,
doin' it against my will,
ev'ry orchestra seems to say,
go, go, go, go to it, do it
any little swinging, ringing melody
makes me dance, somehow,
when they start that rhythm,
I've got to hurry up and do it with 'em.
I just can't pause, because,
they've got me doin' it now.

Any little rag will start me doin' it,
doin' it against my will,
ev'ry orchestra seems to say,
go, go, go, go to it, do it
any little swinging, ringing melody
makes me dance, somehow,
when they start that rhythm,
I've got to hurry up and do it with 'em.
I just can't pause, because,
they've got me doin' it now.

Doctor, cure me,
won't you hurry up and temperature me?
Of a quick recovery assure me,
tell me what's the matter,
don't deceive me,
relieve me;
capsule maker,
oh, you friend of ev'ry undertaker,
won't you tell me
why my shoulders keep going in the air?

Any little rag will start me doin' it,
doin' it against my will,
ev'ry orchestra seems to say,
go, go, go, go to it, do it
any little swinging, ringing melody
makes me dance, somehow,
when they start that rhythm,
I've got to hurry up and do it with 'em.
I just can't pause, because,
they've got me doin' it now.

Any little rag will start me doin' it,
