Cooties ("Hairspray")
They came from way far out
In outer space
She's hard to miss
So they landed on her face
She's got cooties
They've found a place to nest
She's got 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
Nobody wants to sit by her
She's got cooties
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
She's got cooties
She's just as friendly as can be
She's got cooties
She shows them cootie hospitality
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 just as friendly as can be
She shows them cootie hospitality
This girlie's sure to catch your eye
She surely likes to let her freak flag fly
Come on boys, let's dance
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
In outer space
She's hard to miss
So they landed on her face
She's got cooties
They've found a place to nest
She's got 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
Nobody wants to sit by her
She's got cooties
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
She's got cooties
She's just as friendly as can be
She's got cooties
She shows them cootie hospitality
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 just as friendly as can be
She shows them cootie hospitality
This girlie's sure to catch your eye
She surely likes to let her freak flag fly
Come on boys, let's dance

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
