I had the seven year itch
Scratched it out in three
Well, you may say, "How?"
But you don't know me
I've taken my licks
And I'm paying my fee
I had the seven year itch
Scratched it out in three

Been riding my mind 'round my neighborhood
Getting nowhere slow but I'm feeling good
Stayed up all night, that's when I'm at my best
Sleep all day and that's too much rest

Had the seven year itch
Scratched it out in three
You may say, "How?"
But you don't know me
I've taken my licks
And I'm paying my fee
I had the seven year itch
Scratched it out in three

I went crazy one day
but I came back when
I caught myself going crazy again
I decided to write the world's best song
But when I got around to it
it had done moved on

Had the seven year itch
Scratched it out in three
Well, you may say, "How?"
But you don't know me
I've taken my licks
And I'ma paying my fee
I had the seven year itch
Scratched it out in three
