Don't you stop
Don't you wonder why
Life itself drops 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 the doctor
This is a serious case
There's not much time
Now call the doctor
They love to watch him operate
It comes and goes
So call the doctor
They need a special technique
It grows and grows
Now call the doctor
Calling now for Doctor Detroit
Don't you stop

No need to look
He's not in the book (call the doctor)
The doctor's not an M.D
When he gets done
They won't have to run (call the doctor)
What he does this time he does for free
(Call the doctor)
