About Doctor Jones

"Doctor Jones" is a song by Danish dance-pop group Aqua. Released as the band's fifth single overall, it was the follow-up to their most successful song "Barbie Girl" in many regions. "Doctor Jones" was a similarly pop-oriented hit which sold well across the globe and ended the assumptions that Aqua would be a one-hit wonder; although they would remain so in America as "Barbie Girl" was their only hit there until "Lollipop (Candyman)" was released and hit the top 40 on the Hot 100. "Doctor Jones" was released around the world in a number of months, with the first release being in October 1997. Most of the releases would be in November 1997, with it hitting the charts in Japan, Scandinavia and mainland Europe in that month. December 1997 saw the Australian release achieve a successful chart placing at No. 1 for seven consecutive weeks, before the song made its impact in the UK in February of the following year. There, it became the group's second number one single, topping the chart for three weeks.

Sometimes, the feeling is right 
You fall in love for the first time 
Heartbeat, and kisses so sweet 
Summertime love in the moonlight 

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

Now the summer is gone 
You had to go back home 
Please come and see me again 
I've never felt more alone 

Baby, I am missing you 
I want you by my side 
And I hope you'll miss me too 
Come back and stay 

I think about you every day 
I really want you too 
You swept my feet right off the ground,
You're the love I found 

Doctor Jones, Jones, 
Calling Doctor Jones 
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, 
Get up now 
Wake up now 
Doctor Jones, Jones, 
Calling Doctor Jones 
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones, 
Wake up now 
Wake up now 

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

All I think of is you, 
And all of the things we had 
Doctor, what can I do? 
Why does it have to be like that? 

Baby, I am missing you 
I want you by my side 
And I hope you'll miss me too 
Come back and stay 
I think about you every day 
I really want you too 
You swept my feet right off the ground, you're the love I found 

[Chorus]

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

Please, please cure me. 
Please, please cure me. 
Please, please cure me. 
Please, please cure me. 

Doctor Jones, Jones, 
Wake up now 
Doctor Jones, Jones, 
Wake up now 

Doctor Jones, Jones,
Wake up now 
Doctor Jones, Jones, 
Wake up now. 

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

Ah yippie yi yu 
Ah yippie yi yeah 
Ah yippie yi yu ah 

[Chorus]
