[Verse 1: Ray Davies]
Sitting by my stereo all alone
My baby calls me on the telephone
She says, Baby take me out for a dance
I tell my baby I feel so bad
I can't go out and it's making me sad
But when you see me, I know you will understand
[Verse 2: Ray Davies]
I got hay fever, blocking up my head
Hay fever, I ought to be in bed
How can I dance when I can't hardly breathe
Wish I could cure this infernal allergy
I got, hay fever blocking up brain
Hay fever, feel the sinus pains
And all the pills and the powders are in vain
Thought I was cured but here it comes again
It goes ooh-ah
[Verse 3: Ray Davies]
The pollen count's getting higher and higher
My eyes are sore and m noes is on fire
My throat's dry now and I'm starting to perspire
My stuffed up head's k**ing all of my desire
I got hay fever, you wicked allergy
Hay fever, you put the curse on me
And I've inhaled every known remedy
[Verse 4: Ray Davies]
I can't say cool 'cos I'm starting to sneeze
I can't make love when I can't hardly breathe
We start to dance and my nose starts to bleed
There must be a cure for this hay fever
Is there a pill or a powder I can take
I must get a cure, for my romace is at stake
[Verse 5: Ray Davies]
Hay fever, you tore my image down
Hay fever, I must look like a clown
I must have used every tissue in town
I'm running round sniffin' like a hound
It goes ooh-ah
[Verse 6: Ray Davies]
I wanna kiss but I'm sneezin' instead
I can't make love when my head feels like lead
How can I pose when my nose is all red
We should be home, should be tucked up in bed
But I got hay fever
Hay fever
Hay fever (x3)
