G 
C 
I  was down in Savannah
eatin' cream and bananas
G 
When the heat just made me faint
I began to get cross -eyed,
I thought I was lost
C 
I'd begun to see things as they ain't
As the relatives gathered to
see what's the matter
F 
The doctor came to see was I dying
C 
And the doctor said,
give them jug band music
G 
C 
It seems to make them feel just fine
G 
I was told a little tale
about a skinny Ezreal
C 
Eight foot cowboy with a headache
G 
He was hung up in the
desert swattin' rats
and tryin' to get a drink of water
C 
with his knees to gettin' mud cake
And I'll tell you in a sentence
how he stumbled into Memphis,
Tennessee
F 
Hardly crawlin', lookin' dust baked
We gave him a little water, a little bit of wine
C 
He opened up his eyes,
but they didn't seem to shine
And the doctor said,
give them jug band music
G 
C 
The system make them feel just fine
So if you ever get sickly
Get Sister
G 
Run quickly to the dusty closet shelf
And pull down a washboard
And play a guitar chord
C 
and do a little do -it -yourself
And call on your neighbors
to put down their labors
F 
And come and play the hardware in time
C 
Cause the doctor said
give them jug band music
G 
C 
It seems to make them feel just fine

Verse 2
floatin' in the ocean
pleased with suntan lotion
C 
When I got wiped out by a beach boy
G 
He was surfin' when he hit me
But jumped off his board to get me
And he dragged me by the armpit
C 
like a child's toy
And he staggered in the land
with all the waiters
eatin' sandwiches
and tried to move the towel
F 
from the hoi polloi
He emptied out his eardrums,
I emptied out mine
C 
And everybody knows that the very last line is the doctor say,
F
