Lyrics	VERSE 1: Oh howdy folks, excuse our looks We're going to sing for you; We can't back out it's been announced, So we will brave it through This morning when we all took sick And sent for Doctor Bumps, He took a squint at us and said, "Those kids have got the mumps." Oh, yes, CHORUS: We've got the mumps all right, The worstest kind of mumps, And if you don't keep shy of us You certainly are chumps, For if you don't you'll get exposed That's what the Doctor said, And it's not any fun you bet, To have a swelled up head, To have a swelled up head. VERSE 2: We dasn't go out doors to play Till we get well again; We dasn't eat sour pickles 'cause They give us such a pain, And if we laugh or cough or sneeze It hurts these horrid lumps It isn't any funny thing when folks has got the mumps. Oh, yes, VERSE 3: Last year we had the whooping cough And my! how we did whoop! The year before 'twas measles and Another time 'twas croup, And once we had the chickenpox Oh, we were in the dumps! We've had most all complaints, you see And now we've got the mumps. Oh, yes,
