Verse:

Ev -'ry -bod -y gets the blues now and then, and don't know what to do.

I've had it hap -pen man -y man -y times to me, and so have you.

But those days have gone and past, I found out what to do at last,

When I feel all in, down and out, you will hear me shout:

 

Chorus:

Oh, hel -lo cen -tral, give me Doc -tor Jazz,

He's got just what I need, I'll say he has.

When the world goes wrong, and I got the blues,

He's the man who makes me get out both my danc -ing shoes.

The more I get, the more I want, it seems.

I page old Doc -tor Jazz in all my dreams,

When I'm trou -ble bound and mixed, He's the guy that gets me fixed,

Hel -lo cen -tral give me Doc -tor Jazz.
