Verse 2 Sun lights up the daytime,

Moon lights up the night. IlJght 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,

Fever all through the night.

Verse 4 Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same; When he put hts arms around her, he said 'Julie, baby, you're my name. Thou givest fever when we ktsseth, Fever With thy flaming youth. Fever, I'm afire; Fever, yea, \ burn forsooth!"

Verse 5 Captain Smith and Pocahontas

Had a very mad affair;

When her daddy tried to kill him, she said

"Deddv-o, don't you dare!

He gives me fever with his kisses,

Fever when he holds me tight.

Fever, I'm his mlssus:

Oh, Daddy, won't you treat him right?"

Repeat Verse 3 Verse 6 Now you've listened to my story,

Here's the point that J 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 teern,

Fever WI you sizzle ­ What a lovely way to burn!
