Doctor Feelgood
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Double K:] (Oh, ho ho! Aite...)
Young, black and proud, with plenty to live for
Toast up or roll up, turn the beat up more
I thank god that I'm livin', another day given
My ambition is somehow to make a difference
Through the way that I talk, a negative to positive
Beats, rhymes and life: that's the way that I live
It could've been death row, it could've been skid
The city I come from get vicious like Sid
I feel good, and never take shit for granted
And every day feels like the Mothership landed
We all on the one, like a crash and a kick
Got the kids all smilin', magician trick
Promoter payout, and we landin' safe
Another time, another day, and we all embrace
Like the homies in the hood, let me make it overstood
Every minute that you're breathin', ride on and feel good
[Sung sample:]
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel all right ([Spoken sample:] Alright, alright!)
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel all right ([Spoken sample:] Alright, alright!)
[Thes One:]
Today, I woke up and saw the sun shinin' through
Jumped up and took a hot shower, made me feel brand new
Like when I was a kid and swingin' on a rope swing
Let go, Merced River, Yosemite, camping in Lower Pines
I lower rhymes like vines to slower times and split limes in Pacifico
'Cause life's not so difficult if you could just let go of the typical crap
And free your mind and just align with our rap
So now we been around the world and made the people say "Awww, shit!"
To free your mind of hardship and let your psyche unzip
And open up and hug someone, the most powerful drug is fun and fully free
The Fun DMC rap music, enthuse it, we abuse it
The P'll keep it goin' so that you could never lose it
The U.S.A. tradition? It's rap abolition
So free your mind and find yourself a half-full position
'Cause we be the doctor...

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel all right
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel all right ([Spoken sample:] Alright, alright!)
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel all right ([Spoken sample:] Alright, alright!)
[Man #1:] Haha. Yeah.
[Man #2:] If these seem like good times to you, then hook up with people like this.
[Man #1:] Give us a call!
[Man #3:] Exactly!
[Man #2:] Give them a call! They look like your kind of people...
[Spoken sample:] I feel good!

[Spoken sample:] Thanks for being with us. I guess we're gonna hear lots more. (Hasta luego!) Okay, hasta luego to you, too. Bye now. Thank you for being with us today. One of the nice things about this program is... we're flexible! We kinda go with the flow of what's happening at the moment. Hope you will too, but stay safe... Won't you look both ways. We'll look for you again tomorrow. Goodbye, now.
