Late at Emnight while you're sleeping

She's pretty as a daisy - verse
but look out man she's crazy
she'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin
CMeasles make you mumpy - bridge
and mumps will make you lumpy
Gand chicken pox will make you
jump and switch
CA common cold will fool you
and whooping cough can cool ya
But PoiDson Ivy lord will make you itch
Your gonna need an ocean - verse
of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around
CHORUS - BRIDGE - REPEAT LAST VERSE - CHORUS
La la la la - verse
