The Lyrics

Since the original was dealing with the plague, I guess I didn't fall far from the tree with this one.
Folks in town are keeping it hush
The doctor poked his needle
That is why I whisper and run
Pops got the measles!

Now his face is turning red
Flu bug is a beetle
Don't you want to watch the show?
Pops got the measles!

He's forced to eat just salad and mush
He looks a lot like smeagol
Fever's hit a hundred and two
Pops got the measles!

Come on watch him moan and cry
My dad's feeling feeble
I know a great place to spy
Pops got the measles!
