Yes I love technology  
But not as much as you, you see  
But I still love technology  
Always and forever

Oh I, I love the nightlife

On the disco 'round, oh yea  
Oh, I love the night life  
I’ve got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yeah

One night I was layin’ down  
I heard mama ‘n papa talkin’  
I heard papa tell mama  
Let that boy boogie-woogie  
It’s in him, and it got to come out

Mama’s got a squeeze box  
She lays on her chest  
And when her daddy comes home  
He never gets no rest  
'Cos she’s playing all night  
And the music’s alright  
Mama’s got a squeeze box  
And Daddy never sleeps at night

Your mama don’t dance  
And your daddy don’t rock and roll  
Your mama don’t dance  
And your daddy don’t rock and roll  
When evening rolls around  
And it’s time to go to town  
Where do you go  
To rock and roll?

I was born in the wagon of a traveling show  
My mama had to dance for the money they’d throw  
Papa would do whatever he could  
Preach a little gospel  
Sell a couple bottles of doctored goods

Musixmatch, Lyrics Translate and Genius all have “Doctor Good”. That’s how I remember it as well.

At the far end of your tether  
And your thoughts won’t fit together  
So you sleep light or whatever  
And the night goes on forever  
Then your mind change like the weather  
You’re in need of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years  
And the slow parade of fears without crying  
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could  
To see the evil and the good without hiding  
You must help me if you can

He does everything he can

And she’s watching him with those eyes  
And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it  
Yeah, and he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night  
You know, I wish that I had  
Jessie’s girl  
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl  
Where can I find a woman like that?

Oh mother, say a prayer for me  
Jesse’s back in town, it won’t be easy

Don’t let him touch me  
Don’t let him please me
