They came from way far out in outer space
She's hard to miss
And so they landed on her face
She's got cooties

They've found a place to nest (she's got cooties, cooties)
If I were her I'd be depressed
Long tailed, sharp nailed
Fuzzy legs, laying eggs

"Oh no, get 'em away!"
In science class she's like a walking show-and-tell
Her pet skunk ran away 'cause it couldn't take the smell
She's got cooties (cooties)

Nobody wants to sit by her (she's got cooties, cooties)
No, I don't need a coat
'Cause she's got fur
Circle, circle, dot, dot, dot
Glad I got my cootie shot

Come on boys, let's stamp 'em out
Cootie, cootie
Come on boys
Cootie, cootie
Cootie, cootie
Come on boys

Oh, no no no (she's got cooties)
She's just as friendly as can be (she's got cooties)
She shows them cootie hospitality (she's got cooties)
She's like a living Twilight Zone (she's got cooties)
Quick, uh, can you get Rod Sterling on the phone?"
Black, white, red, green
Every color in between
Dresses like a circus clown
Somebody oughta hose her down
Grew up in a cootie zoo
I bet her two-ton mama's got 'em too

She's coming
She's got cooties
Somebody ought to hose her down
She's got cooties
Oh yeah, woo
She's got cooties
Somebody ought to hose her down
She's got cooties
Yeah, yeah (she's got cooties)

She's just as friendly as can be (she's got cooties)
She shows them cootie hospitality (she's got cooties)
This girlie's sure to catch your eye (she's got cooties)
She surely likes to let her freak flag fly

Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)
Let's stamp 'em out
Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)
Let's stamp 'em out
Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)
Let's stamp 'em out
Come on boys, let's dance (she's got cooties)
Let's stamp 'em out

Black, white, red, green
Every color in between
Dresses like a circus clown
Somebody oughta hose her down
Grew up in a cootie zoo
I bet her two-ton mama's got 'em too
