I went to the doctor, I said, "What can I do?
Summertime's here and I cannot go to school
Well, I've worn out my skateboard, I've climbed all the trees
I've got holes in my sneakers and scabs on my knees"

I said, "Doctor, now, I'm not sure
But I think I need the Grape Jelly Cure"

You get a windshield wiper from a rusty old car
Five scoops of jelly from the grape jelly jar
Four long whiskers from a polka-dotted cat
And stir them all together with a baseball bat

Now the doctor looked at me with a twinkle and a grin
He said, "What you need are some summer friends
You've got time on your hands with nothing to do
I think I've got just the thing for you"

He said, "I'm giving you the fifty-cent tour
Here's a prescription for the Grape Jelly Cure"

You get a windshield wiper from a rusty old car
Five scoops of jelly from the grape jelly jar
Four long whiskers from a polka-dotted cat
And stir them all together with a baseball bat

Now, finding grape jelly was not very hard
And I got a windshield wiper from the local junkyard
But where was I to get a polka-dotted cat?
The neighbors all said, "There's no such thing as that!"

But I met a lot of kids in the neighborhood
I think the Grape Jelly Cure works pretty good

You get a windshield wiper from a rusty car
Five scoops of jelly from the grape jelly jar
Four long whiskers from a polka-dotted cat
And stir them all together with a baseball bat
I said, "Doctor, now, I think I'm sure
The Grape Jelly Cure works pretty good
Mmm-mmm!"
