Doctor Robert

Ring my friend I said you'd call Doctor Robert,
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all,
Doctor Robert,

Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert.

If you are down he'll pick you up, Doctor Robert,
Take a drink from his special cup, Doctor Robert,

Doctor Robert, he's a man you must believe,
Helping every one in need,
No one can succeed like Doctor Robert.

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine,
Well, well, well, he'll make you, Doctor Robert.

My friend works with the National Health,
Doctor Robert,
Don't pay money just to see yourself with
Doctor Robert,

Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert.

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine,
Well, well, well, he'll make you Doctor Robert.
Ring my friend I said you'd call
Doctor Robert.

"Doctor Robert" is a song by the Beatles released on the album Revolver in the United Kingdom and on Yesterday and Today in the United States. The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It was recorded in seven takes on 17 April 1966 with vocals overdubbed 19 April. In 1968, McCartney described the meaning of the song, saying "There's some fellow in New York, and in the States we'd hear people say: 'You can get everything off him; any pills you want.' That's what Dr. Robert is all about, just a pill doctor who sees you all right." In 1980, Lennon said that he was Doctor Robert: "I was the one who carried all the pills on tour ... in the early days".
