Back on My Feet Again Randy Newman
Doctor, let me t[G]ell you somethi[E]ng about myself[A]
I'm a [D]college man and I'm [C]very [G]wealthy
I've [G]got no time to [E]trifle with [A]trash like you
Cause I [D]must be '[C]bout my [G]business
My [G]brother's a mach[E]inist in a [A]textile mill
And he [D]makes more money than you [C]ever [G]will
He [G]just got [E]married to a [A]Polish girl
[D]With a space be[C]tween her [G]teeth
[G]My sister's a [E]dancer up in [A]Baltimore
[D]At a small [C]cafe on [G]Main
But she [G]ran off with a [E]Negro from the [A]Eastern Shore
[D]Doctor, she didn't even know his [A]name
Get me [G]back on my [D]feet [G]again
Back on my feet a[D]gain
[G]Open the [Bm]door and [Em]set [E]me [A]free
Get me [A]back on my [D]feet [G]again
[G]He took her down to [E]Mobile in a [A]railroad train
He said, "[D]Driver, take me to the [C]Hotel Puh-[G]ree."
He [G]went into the [E]washroom, washed his [A]face and hands, and Doctor,
When he [D]come out he was white as you and [A]me
He said, "[G]Girl, I ain't a [E]Negro I'm a [A]millionaire
[D]As you can [C]plainly [G]see
[G]So many [E]women were [A]after my money
But I'm [D]proud to say you were only after [A]me
?Gonna [G]teach you to play [E]polo and how to [A]water-ski
[D]Won't have to [C]dance no [G]more
[G]And I no [E]longer have to pre[A]tend to be
[D]A Negro from the Eastern [A]Shore."
Get me [G]back on my [D]feet [G]again
Back on my feet a[D]gain
[G]Open the [Bm]door and [Em]set [E]me [A]free
Get me [A]back on my [D]feet [G]again
[G]Doctor, doctor, [E]what you [A]say
[D]How 'bout letting me [C]out to[G]day?
[G]Ain't no [E]reason for [A]me to stay
[D]Everybody's so [A]far away
Get me [G]back on my [D]feet [G]again
Back on my feet a[D]gain
[G]Open the [Bm]door and [Em]set [E]me [A]free
Get me [A]back on my [D]feet [G]again
