She left me with the herpes

Oh why did she do that

Last night I sat upon a chair and gave it to the cat

The cat gave it to Rover

And to the mousie too

The mousie gave it to the bird

I don't know what to do

A mother said her daughter

Was a nice girl and refined

It must have been another girl

Certainly not mine

My darling gonna dear

Sue's the only one I knew

Since Roosevelt won the election in 1932

She left me with the herpes

Even roaches won't come near

Mosquitoes will not bite me

'Cause they sense my blood's not clear

My chamber maid is suing

And taking me to court

She cleaned my room the other day

And you know what she caught

I left her with the herpes

Like it was left for me

And there are many listening to this song

Who have now you see

The only good advice I give is take a book to bed

And let her take blood test every day that you are wed

She left me with the herpes

I don't know what to do

My life's a social wreck

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

If anybody out there can come up with a cure

I'll be the very first in line on that you can be sure

She left me with the herpes

I don't know what to do

My life's a social wreck

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

If anybody out there can come up with a cure

I'll be the very first in line on that you can be sure
