Mononeucleosis - Allan Sherman

Mononucleosis is the kissing disease

It’s very hard to shake it, but you get it with ease

So if you’re really sweet sixteen and never been kissed

How come you’re on the mononucleosis list?

Mononucleosis

Will make you very sick

So baby, get your Blue Cross card

And kiss me quick

Mononucleosis was discovered one day

By a very famous scientist the following way:

He grabbed his lab assistant, and when she gave a lurch

He whispered, «Cool it, baby, we’re just doing research.»

Mononucleosis

Will give you quite a scare

But baby, come and kiss me

We’ve got Medicare

Mononucleosis is contagious, but nice

Once I knew a fella who contracted it twice

First he kissed his girlfriend and endangered his life

And while he was recovering, he kissed his wife

Yes that’s the diagnosis

It’s the kissing disease

So baby, come as close as

You wish or you please

'Cause mononucleosis

Will raise your temperature

So let’s continue kissing till they find the cure
