Cooties
[AMBER]
(Spoken)
Tracy Turnblad, this song is for you!
(Sung)
They came from way far out
In outer space
She's hard to miss and so
They landed on her face
[AMBER & GUYS]
She's got cooties!
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
They've found a place to nest
[GUYS]
She's got cooties!
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
If I were her I'd be depressed
Long-tailed, sharp nails
Fuzzy legs, laying eggs
(Spoken)
Come on everybody, let's stamp them out!
[COUNCIL MEMBERS]
She's got cooties!
[AMBER]
In science class
She's like a walking show-and-tell
[COUNCIL MEMBERS]
She's got cooties!
[AMBER]
You know she's coming down the hall
From just her smell
[GUYS]
She's got cooties
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
Nobody wants to sit by her
[GUYS]
She's got cooties
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
Don't need a coat 'cause she's got fur!
Circle, circle
Dot, dot, dot
[AMBER & COUNCIL MEMBERS ]
Hurry, get your cootie shot!
[AMBER]
Dresses like a circus clown
[AMBER & COUNCIL MEMBERS]
Somebody oughta hose her down
[AMBER]
Grew up in a cootie zoo
I bet her two-ton mama's got 'em too!
And that's for you!
