When the lovebug bites you don't know where to scratch

It keeps right on a biting till it begins to hatch

It's just a little thing called the lovebug itch

I put my arms around her, tied a lovers hitch

I tingled and I knew I had the lovebug itch

G     C
Oh, I love her lips and I love 'em close to mine
