DOCTOR CALABASH

I'm sweating all my dreams away
The hotel says I'd better pay
And the border closed up yesterday
So, I crawl to the phone
Take out the dirty matchbook I got the number written on
But a voice says, "He's gone
Doctor Calabash ain't home."

I wonder how I got this far?
Tequila from a jelly jar
I used to be a soap opera star
So I crawl out the hall
Sounds like the next room, they're really having a ball
But a sign says it all:
"Doctor Calabash ain't home."

Oh Wee
What's gonna happen to me?
Aw shucks
I'm overdrawn on all my luck
Oh, no - the tarot cards said I'd better go
Oh No!

Thank God I got my saxophone
So I don't feel completely alone
The bellhop says I'm coming along
I say, "I used to play every day
Down at the 305 lounge down Hempstead way
'Til one day...they said, 'Hey I'm sorry, son, but you cannot stay
Doctor Calabash has come home'."

Number One: "Let's have fun!"
Number Two: "What can we do?"
Number Three: "Come with me."
Number Four: "Through that door?"
Number Five: "Give it a try!"
Number Six: "Hey...If the shoe fits..."
Number Seven: "This is heaven!"
Number Eight: "This feels great!"
Number Nine: "This is divine!"
Number Ten: "Let's do it again!"
'Cause Doctor Calabash, Doctor Calabash, Doctor Calabash came home
