Lyrics
Oh! Oh! Oh! please doctor cure my blues
I can not reduce, Doctor it’s no use
No! No! No! Your diet I refuse
I don’t care if I get stout
Doctor, I can’t do without
Chorus
Waffles! Waffles! Waffles for mine
Cover them and smother them with syrup
Waffles! Waffles! I can eat nine
When I see a waffle how I cheer up
No meats, no sweets, my candy I’ll cut
No ham, no jam, no fried Halibut
I must have waffles, Waffles! doctor be kind
Cut out my potatoes, waffles for mine
Chorus
Waffles! Waffles! Waffles for mine
Cover them and smother them with syrup
Waffles! Waffles! I can eat nine
When I see a waffle how I cheer up
This advice you hear every day
A waffle keeps the doctor away
I must have waffles, Waffles! doctor be kind
You can cut my spinach, waffles for mine
