Lyrics

[Intro]
(Come and play)
(Come and play)

[Verse 1]
Oh my love is like a virus
Ain't no doctor gonna stop it
Why won't you just come and play with me?
(Why don't you just come and play?)
Yes, this feeling is contagious
I think you should be courageous
Why don't you just come and play with me?
(Why don't you just come and play?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be afraid
(Come and play)

[Chorus]
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you want to catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)

[Verse 2]
So wrapped up in this affliction
Shut your mouth and, baby, listen
Stop teasing just come and play with me (Why don't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be afraid
(Come and play)

[Chorus]
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you want to catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies (Cooties)
Don't be frightened about my cooties (Cooties, come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie (Cooties)
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Cooties, come and play)

[Bridge]
(Why don't you just come and play?)
(Why don't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)
(Why don't you just come and play?)
(Why don't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)
Don't be afraid

[Chorus]
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you want to catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties

Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
