Lyrics
Who is the greatest benefactor of mankind?
Someone you’d never realize
Perhaps you’ll meet him soon
So keep his name in mind
Because he doesn’t advertise
Chorus
Doctor Rhythm runs a clinic
Where all kinds of people meet
Where a weary worn-out cynic
Gets back on his feet
Are you troubled, do you wonder
Why you’re filled with dark despair?
Go and lose your worries under
Doctor Rhythm’s care
And when it’s a case
Where a heartache never ends
He’ll fix your face
With a smile that makes new friends
When you think no one can cure you
Doctor Rhythm rates a chance
With one treatment he’ll assure you
Life is just a dance
