FEVER

(Instrumental x2)

Verse 1 (Riff 1):

First time I had the fever
They said I had the kissing disease
They said that it was quite contagios
So I did'nt even dare to sneeze


I'd give you fever
If I kissed you
Fever if i hold you tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Verse 2 (riff 1):

They play it on run-way in paris
The models do a sassy walk
They know just the way to swish it
While the local yokels stand and gawk

They give them fever
When they do it
Fever when they do a turn
Fever
They're a fire
and what a lovely way to burn

Bridge (Riff 1):

Everybody's got the fever
That's something we all know
Fever is'nt such a new thing
Fever started long ago

(Instrumental 2)

Verse 3 (Riff 2):

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said : Daddy, oh, don't you dare,
He gives me fever
When his kisses,
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever
I'm his misses
So, daddy, won't you treat him right ?

Verse 4 (Riff 2):

Romeo loved Juliette 
Juliette she felt the same 
When he put his arms around her he said : 
Julie, Baby , you're my flame
 Thou giveth fever 
When we kisseth 
Fever with thy flaming youth 
Fever
I'm afire, 
Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth

(instrumental 3)

Bridge 2 (Riff 3):

Now you've listened to my story, 
Here's the point that I have made: 
Chicks were born to give you fever, 
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade 
They give you fever 
When you kiss them 
Fever if you live and learn 
Fever
'till you sizzle 
What a lovely way to burn
(Riff 4)
what a lovely way to burn 
what a lovely way to burn 
what a lovely way to burn
