Ev-'ry bod-y gets the blues now and then,

But   those days have   gone and  past,___

You will hear me   shout:_____

When the world goes wrong,___and I ____ got the blues,
He's ___ the man who makes me get out both my dancing shoes.__
The more I get, the more I want, it   seems.____
I page old Doctor  Jazz in all my   dreams,____
When I'm trouble  bound and mixed,  He's the guy that gets me fixed,
Hel-lo,  Central, give me Doctor  Jazz._____
