The Lyrics
Home from work and pimply
Too sick to drive his diesels
Just sits around in his underwear,
Pop's got the measles..
He'll be well in about a week,
Listens to the Beatles
Glad I go to school each day,
Pop's got the measles..
I think he caught 'em from Eloise,
My little baby sister
She broke out in polka dots
Bigger than a blister
Orders that he should not scratch
Came from Doctor Cecil
Mom duck taped his fingernails
Pop's got the measles..
Poppa wants to sell our house
Move to New York City
Told me I can't take my pets,
I'd have to leave the kitty
Before our door was quarantined
He ordered house appraisals
I'm glad the broker can't show up,
Pop's got the measles..
Too sick to drive his diesels
Just sits around in his underwear,
Pop's got the measles..
He'll be well in about a week,
Listens to the Beatles
Glad I go to school each day,
Pop's got the measles..
I think he caught 'em from Eloise,
My little baby sister
She broke out in polka dots
Bigger than a blister
Orders that he should not scratch
Came from Doctor Cecil
Mom duck taped his fingernails
Pop's got the measles..
Poppa wants to sell our house
Move to New York City
Told me I can't take my pets,
I'd have to leave the kitty
Before our door was quarantined
He ordered house appraisals
I'm glad the broker can't show up,
Pop's got the measles..

Do the day-long Beatles marathons make up for the relentless scratching? Seems they almost might... Fun song!
Mucho graci..Bilb
Just shows that one can always find clever new twists on ancient songs. 555, and did you mean "duct tape?" :-)
Thanks, Tommy. Yes, duct, but it was written from the child's perspective, thus: duck tape.
Actually, my local hardware store sells a "generic brand" of Duct Tape™, which, IIUC, is a registered trademark of 3M Corp. Their brand is indeed called "duck tape", complete with duck logo, and 3M hasn't sued -- yet. :) Probably not aware of it. .. sorry I didn't realize that the singer's POV was "that young". Cool. :)
IT SUX!!!!!!

Sarra Zengo - Don't know what you think sux, but if it's the parody, they let's see you do better! BIGGEST BEATLES FAN! - I can sympathize with you about a possible insult on The Beatles, but if you think parodies are a waste of time, then what the HELL! are you doing here!!
