Fever

Peggy Lee · Ridin High Complete Record Releases 1957-59 [2010]

Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear



You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever! In the morning

Fever all through the night



Sun lights up the daytime

And moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

And you know I'm gonna treat you right



You give me fever

When you kiss me,

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever! In the morning

And fever all through the night



Everybody's got the fever

That is something you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago



Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her he said,

"Julie, Baby, you're my flame."



"Thou giveth fever

When we kisseth

Fever with thy flaming youth

Fever! I'm afire,

Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."



Cap'in Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair

When her daddy tried to kill him

She said,

"Daddy, oh, don't you dare!"



"He gives me fever

With his kisses

Fever when he holds me tight

Fever! I'm his missus, So

Daddy, Won't you treat him right?"



Now you've listened to my story

Here's the point that I have made

Chicks were born to give you fever

Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade



They give you fever

When you kiss them

Fever if you live and learn

Fever! 'till you sizzle

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn
