Tom Paxton - I've Got The Measles lyrics

My face has polka dots My face is covered with spots How many are there - lots I've got the measles I've really got ‘em now They crept up on me somehow I looked in the mirror, and WOW I've got the measles I've got the measles And I don't feel well Mom took my temperature And she said, “Well You're gonna stay in bed Remember what the doctor said When you turn spotty and red You've got the measles” I guess I'm sick, all right I've lost my appetite I could not eat a bite I've got the measles This isn't much fun at all My dog has to stay in the hall I can't go out and play ball I've got the measles I've got the measles And I don't feel well Mom took my temperature And she said, “Well You're gonna stay in bed Remember what the doctor said When you turn spotty and red You've got the measles” My sister's really hot She hasn't got a spot She'd love to have what I've got I've got the measles She's healthy as she can be She's going to school, hee-hee I'm going to watch TV I've got the measles I've got the measles And I don't feel well Mom took my temperature And she said, “Well You're gonna stay in bed Remember what the doctor said When you turn spotty and red You've got the measles” My face has polka dots My face is covered with spots How many are there - lots I've got the measles I've really got ‘em now They crept up on me somehow I looked in the mirror, and WOW I've got the measles I've got the measles I've got the measles
