Dr. Dingbat's Sore Thumb Remedy

V4.5

[Verse] Old Doc Dingbat rolled into town, With a bag of tricks and a furrowed frown. Said he’d fix whatever’s wrong, But Lord, it didn’t take him long. [Chorus] Oh, Dr. Dingbat, what have you done? Turned a sore thumb into a circus of fun. Tried to heal me, but I’m worse off now, I’m the talk of the town, and I don’t know how. [Verse] He grabbed some tape and a rusty spoon, Said, "This’ll fix ya up real soon." Wrapped my thumb till it turned bright blue, Now it throbs worse than a country blues tune. [Chorus] Oh, Dr. Dingbat, what have you done? Turned a sore thumb into a circus of fun. Tried to heal me, but I’m worse off now, I’m the talk of the town, and I don’t know how. [Bridge] Now my hand’s in a cast and my pride’s in a sling, Folks are laughing, it’s the darndest thing. They say Dingbat’s got a touch so rare, You’ll leave his office needing Medicare. [Verse] He charged me double for his expertise, Said, "Pay up now, I’ve got mouths to feed." As I hobbled out with my thumb on ice, I swore I’d never take his advice.
