Song information
As a kid in the very late 70's/early 80's, I was a big fan of the anime show Star Blazers. One of the characters was Dr. Sane, the medical guy, who always had a bottle of, some times it was spring water, sometimes a cure of motion sickness, and other times it was soybean milk. It was much later, I learned that in the original Japanese show, it was booze, and that the good old Doc drank like there was no tomorrow. Lyrically, this tune is an observation about this sort of situation. Musically, I had been listening to a very old Guess Who album called "Canned Wheat," and was coming up with, or trying to come up with, something that Burton Cummings might have written around then with himself, or with Randy Bachmann. I wanted to give it that feel at least.

Lyrics
Here by the garden
Watching all that TV
I think about your practices
Most people thought you had a quirky side to you
Most didn't know your full story

CHORUS:
Cause when you have a drop of that sake wine
You know it ain't water from the spring
And if the kids find out who you are
You're gonna feel the sting
When you have a drop of that sake wine
You know it ain't water from the spring
Just keep your feet on the ground

The promoter of health and life welcomed you here
Didn't he seem to know it all
Things to keep your interest and make you stay awhile
And give you some new ideas

REPEAT CHORUS:

The good doctor isn't always what he seems to be
Take what he is with the right mind
Find out where he comes from and how he came to be
Where he is today

REPEAT CHORUS:

Interesting background info , Mark. To my ears, this had a Steely Dan feel to it ( though your vocals are much easier on the ears than theirs).. my sincere compliments to you
