Tom Paxton I've Got The Measles
My face has polka dots
My face is covered with spots
How many are there - lots
I've got the measles
I've really got ‘em now
They crept up on me somehow
I looked in the mirror, and WOW
I've got the measles
I've got the measles
And I don't feel well
Mom took my temperature
And she said, “Well
You're gonna stay in bed
Remember what the doctor said
When you turn spotty and red
You've got the measles”
I guess I'm sick, all right
I've lost my appetite
I could not eat a bite
I've got the measles
This isn't much fun at all
My dog has to stay in the hall
I can't go out and play ball
I've got the measles
I've got the measles
And I don't feel well
Mom took my temperature
And she said, “Well
You're gonna stay in bed
Remember what the doctor said
When you turn spotty and red
You've got the measles”
My sister's really hot
She hasn't got a spot
She'd love to have what I've got
I've got the measles
She's healthy as she can be
She's going to school, hee-hee
I'm going to watch TV
I've got the measles
I've got the measles
And I don't feel well
Mom took my temperature
And she said, “Well
You're gonna stay in bed
Remember what the doctor said
When you turn spotty and red
You've got the measles”
My face has polka dots
My face is covered with spots
How many are there - lots
I've got the measles
I've really got ‘em now
They crept up on me somehow
I looked in the mirror, and WOW
I've got the measles
I've got the measles
I've got the measles
