Back On My Feet Again Lyrics - Randy Newman

Doctor, let me tell you something about myself 

I'm a college man and I'm very wealthy 

I've got no time to trifle with trash like you 

Cause I must be 'bout my business 

My brother's a machinist in a textile mill 

And he makes more money than you ever will 

He just got married to a Polish girl 

With a space between her teeth 

My sister's a dancer up in Baltimore 

At a small cafe on Main 

But she ran off with a Negro from the Eastern Shore 

Dr., she didn't even know his name 

Get me back on my feet again 

Back on my feet again 

Open the door and set me free 

Get me back on my feet again

He took her down to Mobile in a railroad train 

He said, "Driver, take me to the Hotel Paree" 

He went into the washroom 

Washed his face and hands 

When he come out he was white as you and me 

He said, "Girl, I ain't a Negro I'm a millionaire 

As you can plainly see 

So many women were after my money 

But I'm proud to say that you were only after me 

"I'm going to teach you to play polo and how to water ski 

And you won't have to dance no more 

And I no longer have to pretend to be 

A Negro from the Eastern Shore." 

Doctor, Doctor, what you say 

How 'bout letting me out today? 

Ain't no reason for me to stay 

Everybody's so far away

Get me back on my feet again 

Back on my feet again 

Open the door and set me free 

Get me back on my feet again
