You pull in to town roll out the back of your wagon,
Do a song and dance sell'n the latest concoction,
One hundred percent guaranteed...
Ya tip your hat and give me a wink,
Whisper in my ear, "Have some of this to drink,
It's the end all be all cure for disease"...
Doctor, doctor, What do you take me for?
Am I a patient or a customer going through a revolving door?
Doctor, doctor, is this a hospital or a candy store,
How come your getting rich, when we're all sick and poor?
My head it hurt, my tummy ached,
All over my body my joints felt pain,
So I went to the doctor and here's what he said,
Take some of this and a whole lot of that,
Make an appointment cause you'll have to come back,
Fill your prescription on the way home...
Doctor, doctor, what do you take me for?
Am I a patient or a customer,
going through a revolving door?
Oh, oh, oooh! Doctor, doctor, is this a hospital or a candy store?
How come you're gett'n rich while we're all sick and poor?
How come you're gett'n rich while we're all sick dying and poor?!

Maya Caballero is an Americana singer-songwriter / musician born and raised on 42nd street in New York City. Sooth your soul
with her adult like lullabies, as you step back in time to her whimsical 1920's ragtime/ Dixieland style, encompassing folk, a little bit of bossa nova, and blues influences from her travels across the United States and throughout Europe....more
This album was my first introduction to Calexico's music. What talented musicians, great music, and all around wonderful people. So happy to have had the chance to collaborate with them. Maya Caballero
