When the lovebug bites you don't know where to scratch 

   C
It keeps right on a biting 'till it begins to hatch

             D7
It makes the old feel young and the poor feel rich

     G                              D7      G
It's just a little thing called the lovebug itch

 
                                G7
Oh the day I held my baby on my knee 

 C
Along came the lovebug and took a bite of me 

         D7
I put my arms around her tied a lovers hitch

  G                            D7      G
I tingled and I knew I had the lovebug itch

 
                                           G7
Oh I love her lips and I love 'em close to mine

  C
I love 'em 'cause they taste like a drop of cherry wine

          D7
I'm gonna stick to her just as if she's glue

    G                            D7      G
I'm itching for her I know she's itching too

 
                                          G7
Oh my pulse beats fast my fever starts to rise

   C
My heart goes pitty-pat when I look into her eyes

            D7
I break out in a sweat and I begin to twitch

      G                            D7      G
There ain't no vaccination for the lovebug itch
