Hans Teeuwen - Dr. Hemmington (w/ The Painkillers)

Get down with doctor Hemmington
He gives us all his pills
An honest man who knows his trade
Don’t you underestimate his skills

Never lost a patient
Always in the lead
If you challenge him
He won’t leave you alone until you bleed
Doctor Hemmington

He likes to learn from other cultures when he goes abroad
He always brings a little, orange suitcase that he bought

In that he keeps a picture
Of a donkey on his back
It helps to bring him in a state of joy
And keeps him on his track
Doctor Hemmington

Help me Doctor Hemmington
Why can’t I be like you?

Help me what to say and think
And tell me what to do

Please Doctor Hemmington, I’m just a simple man
But if you take me by the hand, I’m gonna do the best I can
Doctor Hemmington
Doctor Hemmington A girl stood on his doorstep
She had problems with her skin
He shouted with a face like that:
I can not let you in!

You must be the devil
Or you wouldn’t look like that
I’m a Doctor, not an Exorcist
I wish we’d never met

He bought himself a boat
And he went sailin’ on the sea
Bumped into another boat
And then: catastrophe

Seventeen people died
But Doctor Hemmington was fine
He said: “Accidents will happen,
And they were no friends of mine”

Sometimes he’s just gone
They can’t find him anywhere
Suddenly he’s in his garden
Laughin’ in a chair

Dressed up like an Eskimo
Or like a kangaroo
But then he gets up, goes to work
‘Cause there’s so much left to do

Please Doctor Hemmington, I’m just a simple man
But if you take me by the hand, I’m gonna do the best I can
Doctor Hemmington

But if you take me by the hand, I’m gonna do the best I can
Doctor Hemmington
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Doctor Hemmington
Doctor, doctor,doctor,doctor
Doctor Hemmington
I’m gonna do the best I can
