Cooties Lyrics by Laura Bell Bundy

Hairspray (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2002

[AMBER]
(spoken)
Tracy Turnblad, this is for you
(sung)
They came from way far out
In outer space (Ah-ooh)
And with her help
They may destroy the human race
[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 nailed
Fuzzy legs, laying eggs
(spoken)
Ew, get 'em away from me, get 'em away from me, ew!
(sung)
In science class
She's like a walking show-and-tell (Ah-ooh)
Her pet skunk ran away
'Cause it couldn't take the 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
[ALL]
Dot, dot, dot
[AMBER]
Hurry, get your cootie shot
(spoken)
Come on everybody, let's stamp 'em out!
[GUYS]
She's got cooties
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
She's just as friendly as can be
[GUYS]
She's got cooties
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
She shows them cootie hospitality
[GUYS]
She's got cooties
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
She's like a living Twilight zone
[GUYS]
She's got cooties
[GIRLS]
Cooties
[AMBER]
Quick, get Rod Serling on the phone!
[AMBER]
Black, white, red, green
[AMBER & ENSEMBLE]
Every color in between
[AMBER]
Dresses like a circus clown
[AMBER & ENSEMBLE]
Somebody oughta hose her down
[AMBER]
Grew up in a cootie zoo
I bet her two-ton mama's got 'em too
(spoken)
And that's for you
