Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Already late to the union hall
Tired and draggin' my feet on the ground
Doctor Feelgood live right down my street
I flew on over and he heard me speak
"Doc, please"
"Yeah, I'm gettin' weak in the knees"
And he said, "Cry tough, son, cry tough"
[Verse 2]
Ooh, I told him 'bout my dancin' blues
And why I had to feel the band tonight
"Doctor Feelgood, I promised this lady"
"If I can't dance, she gonna break my nose"
He said, "Easy now, boy" (Ooh)
"'Cause I've got the antidote"
And he said
[Verse 3]
"Cry tough, for that girl on the floor"
"Help her up and watch her beg for more"
"Cry tough, pull down your soul"
"You just need another shot of rock and roll"
Just need another shot of rock and roll
Take it away
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I been cripple since they threw me in school
Until I caught this new kind of flu, call it (Ooh)
Dancin' fever and I have to have it
Crazy Doctor Feelgood encouraged my habit
All his time he would devote (Ooh)
To discover the antidote
And he said
[Verse 5]
"Cry tough on your crutches too"
"You were born to be a dancin' fool"
Cry tough, pull down your soul
You just need another shot of rock and roll
Yeah, just need another shot of rock and roll
Look out, ow
[Verse 6]
I need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll
Need another shot of rock and roll, woo
