Theme From Doctor Detroit

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 Don't you wonder why Life itself drops in And takes you by surprise Don't you try to run (Call the doctor) (Call the doctor) 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) (Call the doctor) (Call the doctor) (Call the doctor) 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
