Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center, Birmingham, AL

Nighttime...

We ran back out on stage after performing Home Sweet Home. Vince threw on his white lab coat, Emi, and Donna came out wearing nurse outfits, Tommy started the beat of the drums, and I cranked up my base. We went at it for the beginning of the song. Mick's guitar riff came in and so began Dr. Feelgood.

Rat-tailed Jimmy is a secondhand hood. He deals in Hollywood.
Got a '65 Chevy premiered 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 selling the Mexican mob packages of candy cane.

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting paid
Jimmy's got it wired, law's for hire
Got it made in the shade
He has a little hideaway and does business all day but at night he'll always be found
Selling sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy's town

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein

I've 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 one they call Dr. Feelgood oh yeah

He'll tell you he's the king of these Barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke any law
Two time a loser running out of juice
Time to move out quickly
Heard a rumor going round
Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's gonna be your Frankenstein
