"You're the Cure for What Ails Me"Cab Calloway
Originally recorded 1936

Jazz
CD (this version obviously, originally vinyl)
B
Funny, clever lyrics, starting with the opening of "I was once a delicate child/ Watched the other kids run wild/ While they played with guns and ropes/ My only toys were stethoscopes." And only in the '30s (well, maybe the '40s) would someone (the funny and clever E.Y. Harburg) rhyme "kabish" and "Battle Creek, Mich."
