Ring my friend
I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Day or night, he'll be there any time at all
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert

If you're down, he'll pick you up
Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
He's a man you must believe
Helping anyone in need
No one can succeed
Like Doctor Robert

Well, well, well
You're feeling fine
Well, well, well
He'll make you
Doctor Robert

My friend works for the National Health
Doctor Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself
With Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Doc Robert

Well, well, well
You're feeling fine
Well, well, well
He'll make you
Doctor Robert

Ring my friend
I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Ring my friend
I said you'd call Doc Robert

I always wondered whether this song was written about Bob Dylan, with whom the band had had a personal and pivotal, early-career encounter.

I shall never tire of the delightfully playful guitars and drums in this fun number! I also appreciate the wicked bass and clever singing of Paul, too!

Finally a Beatles song that has not been played to death

This is among the few Beatles songs that falls flat to me. 
But you know what? Who cares!?! Their brilliance is evident in the other 99.5% of the tunes that serve to define great music and talent.

And if you haven’t seen it, watch Ron Howard’s “Eight Days A Week” Stunning, amazing, endearing… a phenomenal film.(!!)

It wasn't on the original North American release of "Revolver".  It appeared on "Yesterday & Today" , which was only released in North America.

I was just a kid when this was on the neighbors' older siblings turntables, but it was clear that this was SO COOL IT WAS RED-HOT when it came out...had all the parents in a tizzy with fear and loathing, too...  Even today, the harmonies, the twangy hooks, the churchy keyboards, the wry lyrics...Yup, it's still pretty AWESOME!

My older brother bought Y&T when it came out.   He peeled off the cover to find the butcher picture.    I remember it well, because I used it as my own coloring book.   I was 5.     {#Frustrated}

Okay, I'd heard it wrong. So he was from New York. But other than that, no argument re his role vis-a-vis Spaulding? BTW, you should try and relax.

I bought the Yesterday and Today album when it first came out in Canada.  If I recall, it was the second LP I ever bought.

 

And still only a 7.3 rating!?!!  The Revolver, Yesteday and Today (and Tomorrow) LPs were path-breaking.

There's a great documentary about Klaus Voorman, the man who did the Revolver cover, and went on to play bass on countless albums including Imagine and All Things Must Pass. Check it out next time it comes around on PBS. Trailer:

In stark contrast to Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues and Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire, it's refreshing to hear an excellent AND too often neglected piece like The Beatles - Doctor Robert. This is what I like best about RP.

A perfect pop tune IMO.  Have to give it a ten.  Revolver is an album I _still_ get out pretty regularly (Sgt. Pepper's is gathering dust though I loved it at the time).  My little daughter (1.5 yr) loves Revolver and Rubber Soul.  The harmonies I think

I always liked the way each one of these guys is just having fun with their instrument here on this one (and just love Paul's bassin' around here while he does that off-colored harmony he could do so well), meanwhile of course spilling some of the first of many cryptic mystic beans...Think they were smokin' something? popping things? drinking elixirs? Dare say we they surely did all of that and then some! RJP&G still sound fresh sometimes, and some of Dr. Robert's stuff always helps!

That may be. At the time, it was the norm for UK albums to have more groovage per LP side than in the US - I may have been naive, but I assumed it was to get a better signal-to-noise ratio by cutting a louder signal (which required wider grooves). I liked the "Yesterday and Today" album, but I always wanted to own the "original" cover which got yanked after a few thousand sales. (click on image for large size showing track listing)

Not the best song by the Beatles, but a memorable story about it. John Lennon did a Playboy interview before he died and they printed comments he made about many of the Beatles' songs. As I recall, Lennon was Dr. Robert. Apparently he carried the pills when they were on tour and I guess that was a code they used.

Then you must have had a U.K. version of the album, because the line-up of songs from the American "Revolver" is as follows… Side A: Taxman Eleanor Rigby Love You To Here, There and Everywhere Yellow Submarine She Said She Said Side B: Good Day Sunshine For No One I Want to Tell You Got to Get You Into My Life Tomorrow Never Knows
