Lyrics

When the lovebug bites you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on a bitin' 'till it begins to hatch
It makes the old feel young, and the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing called the lovebug itch

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

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 itchin' for her, I know she's itchin', too

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
