Dr. Feelgood

Mötley Crüe · Live: Entertainment Or Death [2009]

Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood

Deals out in Hollywood

Got a '65 Chevy with primered flames

Traded for some powdered goods

Jigsaw Jimmy, he's runnin' a gang

But, I hear he's doin' okay

Got a cozy little job

Sells the Mexican mob

Packages of candycaine



[chorus]

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

He's the one that makes you feel alright

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood



Cops on the corner always ignore

Somebody's gettin' paid

Jimmy's got it wired

Law's for hire

Got it made in the shade

Got a little hideaway, does business all day

But at night he'll always be found

Sellin' sugar to the sweet

People on the street

Call this Jimmy's town



[chorus]

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

He's the one that makes you feel alright

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

He's gonna be your Frankenstein



I got one thing you'll understand (Dr. Feelgood)

He's not what you'd call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)

Got one thing that's easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)

He's the only one they call Dr. Feelgood

Oh, yeah



He'll tell you he's the king of these Barrio streets

Movin' up from Shangri-La

Came by his wealth as a matter of luck

Says he never broke no law

Two-time loser runnin' out of juice

Time to move out quick

Heard a rumor goin' round

Jimmy's goin' down

This time it's gonna stick



[chorus]

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

He's the one that makes you feel alright

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

He's gonna be your Frankenstein



Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand (Dr. Feelgood)

Some people call him an evil man (Dr. Feelgood)

Let him introduce himself real good (Dr. Feelgood)

He's the only one they call Dr. Feelgood



I've got one thing you'll understand (Dr. Feelgood)

He's not what you'd call a glamourous man (Dr. Feelgood)

Got one thing that's easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)

He's the only one they call Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood - Mötley Crüe

As a staple of Mötley Crüe's live performances, 'Dr. Feelgood' exemplifies the band's signature blend of hard rock and glam metal energy. Originally recorded for their 1989 album *Shout at the Devil*, this track has become an essential component of their touring repertoire, often appearing on live compilations such as *Live: Entertainment Or Death*. The song's driving rhythm and iconic vocal delivery by Vince Neil have cemented its status as a defining anthem of the late 1980s rock scene. It captures the raw, rebellious spirit that characterized the band's early career and remains a powerful representation of their musical identity decades later.
