Don't you stop

Don't you wonder why

life itself pops in

and takes you by surprise 



Don't you try to run

it gets you from behind

like a common cold

it takes you for a ride 



now is the time

to call me doctor

this is a serious case

there's not much time

now call me doctor

they love to watch him operate

it comes and goes

so call me doctor

they need a special technique

it grows and grows

now call me doctor

calling doctor, doctor detroit 



call me doctor (repeat) 



no need to look

he's not in the book

the doctor's not an M.D.

what he does this time he does for free 



now is the time

to call me doctor

this is a serious case

there's not much time

now call me doctor

they love to watch him operate

it comes and goes

so call me doctor

they need a special technique

it grows and grows

now call me doctor

calling doctor, doctor detroit
