Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues

All my friends are boppin' the blues
And it must be goin' 'round

Boy, you don't need no pills
Yeah, that doctor told me
Son, you don't need no pills
Just a handful of nickels
And a jukebox will cure your ills

Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues
And it must be goin' 'round
All them cats are boppin' the blues
And it must be goin' 'round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound

Man, I don't feel no pain
I still love you, baby
But I'll never be the same, yeah
