Whed your dose is code as barbie, Ad you sduffle all the day, Ad your head id is behavig Id a bost udbleased way; Whed your ev'ry joid is achig With a very paidful cramb, Whed your throad is dry ad tiglish, Ad your feed are code ad damb; Whed your eyes are red ad rudding With the dears thad will cub oud; You cad safely bake your bind ub  There is very liddle doubd.

You've got a code—a code— Ad idfluedzal code; You cahd tell how you caughd id, But id's got a good firb hode. Your face is whide, your eyes are pigk, Your dose is red ad blue; Ad you wish thad you were— Ah—Ah—Ah—h—Kish—SHOO-O-O!
