When the love bug bites,
you don't know where to scratch.
It keeps right on a -biting
and then begins to hatch.
It makes the old feel young,
the poor feel rich.
It's just a little thing
that's called the love bug itch.
Oh, the day I held my
baby on my knee
Along came a lovebug
and took a bite of me
I put my arms round her,
had a lover's hit
I tingled and I knew I had
the lovebug itch
When the lovebug bites,
you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on a -bitin'
and then begins to hatch
It makes the old feel young,
the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing
that's called the lovebug itch
Oh, I want me a feller, about twenty -three
Oh, one who thinks the whole world of me
A man who ain't never,
ever, ever been hitched
A feller who's been took
with the love buggage
When the love bug bites,
you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on a -bitin'
and then begins to hatch
It makes the old feel young,
the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing
that's called a love bug -it
Oh, I love her lips,
I love them close to mine
I love them 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
When the love bug bites,
you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on a -bitin'
and then forgets to hatch
It makes the old feel young,
the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing
that's called the love bug itch
Aw, come in half moon
Aw, feel it out, son
Oh, my pulse beats fast,
my fever starts to rise
My heart goes titty -pat
when I look into her eyes
I break out in a sweat
and then begin to twitch
There ain't no vaccination
for the love bug itch
When the love bug bites,
you don't know where to scratch
It keeps right on the bite
and then begins to hatch
It makes the old feel young,
the poor feel rich
It's just a little thing
that's called a love bug itch
