The Lyrics
hot on the heels of syphillis, another delve into the world of microbiological friends..
diagnosed with a virus in my nether ly zone
shoulda gripped the base of it, and went on my own
self pleasure baby just isn't that good
need a little kleenex if you're sportin some wood
herpes crabs and fleas, infected from some people in a town,
they've all got herpes, crabs and fleas,
and every night all the men would come around.
and lay a mama down
Picked up chlamydia outside of Mobile,
didn't think I'd get it if I just had a feel
I was 16 she was 21,
bubba needs a rubba when he's having his fun
herpes, crabs and fleas, infected from some people in a town
they've all got, Herpes, crabs and fleas,
and every night all the men would come around
and lay a mama down
shoulda gripped the base of it, and went on my own
self pleasure baby just isn't that good
need a little kleenex if you're sportin some wood
herpes crabs and fleas, infected from some people in a town,
they've all got herpes, crabs and fleas,
and every night all the men would come around.
and lay a mama down
Picked up chlamydia outside of Mobile,
didn't think I'd get it if I just had a feel
I was 16 she was 21,
bubba needs a rubba when he's having his fun
herpes, crabs and fleas, infected from some people in a town
they've all got, Herpes, crabs and fleas,
and every night all the men would come around
and lay a mama down

Super title, Malcolm and funny parody
Good first half of the song. Where's the second half?
Funny and educational!
Good thing I'm 320 miles outside of Mobile!
too busy scratchin to write the second half
Good comeback. May your comeback from "illness" be equally strong.
Classic Malcolm. The title alone made me laugh.
Great parody but..."Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" was not a 60's song. It was released in 1971. It was also a solo release from Cher, Sonny had nothing to do with it.

You know the best part, the google ad on the top of the page is for herpes remedies, too much!
EEK! It is!!!! That's nasty!
which of course spawnd the great line.. what do you call a woman with herpes, aids, syphillis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia?? an incurable romantic

When my nephew was little he would sing along with Cher to this song, but when it came to "thieves, theives, tramps and thieves," my nephew substituted: "fleas, fleas, tramp those fleas!" Innocently of course, he was only about 5 years old!
