Oh, my love is like a virus
Ain't no doctor gonna stop it
Why won't you just come and play with me?
(Why won't you just come and play?)
Yes, this feeling is contagious
I think you should be courageous
Why don't you just come and play with me?
(Why won't you just come and play?)
Don't be afraid (Chemical)
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties
(Chemical)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you want to catch my cooties?

So wrapped up in this affliction
Shut your mouth and baby, listen
Stop teasing, just come and play with me
(Why won't you just come and play?)
