Episode Song:Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue

LyricsRat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hoodHe deals out in HollywoodGot a ’65 Chevy primered flamesTraded for some powdered goodsJigsaw Jimmy he’s runnin’ a gangBut I hear he’s doin’ okayGot a cozy little job sells the Mexican mobPackages of candy cane

He’s the one they call Dr. FeelgoodHe’s the one that makes ya feel alrightHe’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Cops on the corner always ignoreSomebody’s getting paidJimmy’s got it wired, law’s for hireGot it make in the shadeGot a little hideaway, does business all dayBut at night he’ll always be foundSelling sugar to the sweetPeople on the streetCall this Jimmy’s town

He’s the one they call Dr. FeelgoodHe’s the one that makes ya feel alrightHe’s the one they call Dr. FeelgoodHe’s gonna be your Frankenstein

I’ve got one thing you’ll understand (Dr. Feelgood)He’s not what you’d call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)Got one thing that’s easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood oh yeah

He’ll tell you he’s the king of these Barrio streetsMoving up to Shangri LaCame by his wealth as a matter of luckSays he never broke no lawTwo time loser running out of juiceTime to move out quickHeard a rumor going roundJimmy’s going downThis time it’s gonna stick

He’s the one they call Dr. FeelgoodHe’s the one that makes ya feel alrightHe’s the one they call Dr. FeelgoodHe’s gonna be your Frankenstein

Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand (Dr. Feelgood)Some people call him an evil man (Dr. Feelgood)Let him introduce himself real good (Dr. Feelgood)He’s the only one they call feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)

I’ve got one thing you’ll understand (Dr. Feelgood)He’s not what you’d call a glamorous man (Dr. Feelgood)Got one thing that’s easily understood (Dr. Feelgood)He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)Dr. Feelgood (Dr. Feelgood)Feelgood, Feelgood, Feelgood, Feelgood
