Ring my friend I said you'd call Doctor Robert,
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all,
Doctor Robert, 

Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert. 

If you are down he'll pick you up, Doctor Robert,
Take a drink from his special cup, Doctor Robert, 

Doctor Robert, he's a man you must believe,
Helping every one in need,
No one can succeed like Doctor Robert. 

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine,             
Well, well, well, he'll make you, Doctor Robert. 

My friend works with the National Health,
Doctor Robert,
Don't pay money just to see yourself with
Doctor Robert, 

Doctor Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert. 

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine,
