[Chorus]
When the lovebug bites you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on a biting 'til it begins to hatch
It makes the old feel young and the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing that's called the lovebug itch

[Verse 1]
Oh, the day I held my baby on my knee
Along came the lovebug and took a bite of me
I put my arms around her, tied a lovers hitch
I tingled and I knew I had the lovebug itch

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Oh, I love her lips and I love 'em close to mine
I love 'em 'cause they taste like a drop of cherry wine
I'm gonna stick to her just as if she's glue
I'm itching for her, I know she's itching too

[Verse 3]
Oh, my pulse beats fast my fever starts to rise
My heart goes pitty-pat when I look into her eyes
I break out in a sweat and I begin to twitch
There ain't no vaccination for the lovebug itch
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
When the lovebug bites you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on a biting 'til it begins to hatch
It makes the old feel young and the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing that's called the lovebug itch
