A Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues, A7 it must be goin' round. D All them cats are boppin' the blues, A it must be goin' round. E A E I love you, baby, I must be rhythm bound.

A Well, the doctor told me, Carl, you don't need no pills. D A Yeah, that doctor told me, boy, you don't need no pills. E A E Just a handful of nickels and a jukebox will cure your ills.
