The Bancrofts - She's Got the Lurgy Lyrics

Cruisin' down the highway
Got my best man beside me
We ain't looking for trouble
But we may have had a couple
I pull into the driveway
Pick up my whiskey
We're pounding on the front door
You got room for two more?
We walk into the party
I say hello to everybody
They're all sitting on the floor
Playing games galore
I notice somebody's missing
It's the one I've been kissing
I say; "Hey! Where's Isabel?"
They said; "Oh! She's not well!"
I think she got it from Sally
Who picked it up from Harry's
Best friend who got it from their mum
Who works in a hospital
And got it from a constable
That's tended by a couple of nuns
Spread it all around
All over town
She's got the lurgy, baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
I know nobody wants it
But I can for sure she's got it now
She's got the lurgy, baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
So I stayed for a bit
Became a part of it
All the things they were saying
All the games they were playing
I got home the next day
I still felt okay
I got a call from Bella though
She said "Oh! Did you get the memo?"
I think I got it from Donnie
Who lives with his auntie
Who works at the local bar
With the boss who's cross
At the staff he's lost
At home coming down real hard
I think I spread it all around"
All over town
You've got the lurgy, baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
I know you didn't want it
But I can say for sure you've got it now
You've got the lurgy, baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
Another week's gone by
I feel a bit less fine
I've got a little fever
And you know I can't leave here
So we're all in an infirmary
And I think I've got it terminally
And I do feel a bit down, hey!
But at least we can kiss now
I think I got it from Billy
When he got a little silly
With his friends on a holiday
He gave it to the rest of us
And not even the best of us
Can party in a safe kind of way
And then we spread it all around
All over town
We've got the lurgy, baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
I know nobody wants it
But I can say for sure we've got it now
We've got the lurgy, baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)
