Makin' It Natural
Dr. Hook the Medicine Show Lyrics


(Shel Silverstein & Jeffrey Comanor)

I'm gonna throw my grass out the window
Crumple up my papers too
Give away my speed, Cause all I'm gonna need
Is just a little bit of love from you

And we'll be makin' it natural
Ain't it just about time
That old stuff I was so keen on
I no longer have to lean on
Cause your love's enough to keep me high

Now if any you heads want some Panama red
All you gotta do is to reach out your hand
I'll trade my stash for just a little bit of cash
To buy a simple golden wedding band

And we'll be makin' it natural
But don't you ask me how
It's been the cause of all my sorrow
But I think I'll start tomorrow
'Cause I sure could use a hit right now

I'm gonna throw it out the window, some day
Give away my cocaine
Bust my spikes and flush a million mikes
Of acid right down the drain
And we'll be makin' it natural, makin' it natural.......

Great song, I love the songs from this era, where rock and country mixed in many artists early works and love the hawiian steel guitar and and harmonica standing out. I was also really surprised on a shel silverstein album that Johnny Cash had dub in and realized that probably shel and maybe the group knew him. Its strange and awesome how diverse but talented artist who you would never think, know each other.

Silverstein wrote 'A Boy named Sue' which was a minor Hit for the Great J. Cash.

I'm 29 and my dad showed me this song when I was maybe 8 or 9. Listening to it today really brings back good memories of him

I saw these guys live at a county fair in the 70’s! 🥰 Fun fact: Children’s author Shel Silverstein wrote many of Dr. Hook’s lyrics 😬
