When you walk up to that jukebox
and you slip your nickel in
You can bet your bottom dollar
when the record starts to spin
You'll hear a fiddle and a guitar
with that honky -tonkin' sound.
It's that hillbilly fever
that's spreadin' all around.
Hillbilly fever's goin' around.
Good old mountain music's
It's got me robbin' castles,
Hillbilly fever's goin' around.
When you get that jumpy feeling
an d you don't know what is wrong,
don't worry about it, brother,
there's a brand new mountain song.
That's got the whole darn
with that old Big Apple beat.
It's that hillbilly breakdown
that shakes you off your feet.
Hell, Billy Fever's goin' around
I spent a Sunday down in Tennessee
Hell, Billy Fever's goin' around
When the love bug buzzes round you
And you don't know you've been stung
Then you go to see your doctor,
and he says, poke out your tongue.
when he looks into that canyon,
tells you, I've got news.
You're the victim of Sweet Daddy.
You've got the lovesick blues.
Hillbilly fever's going around.
Good old mountain music's
I'm going to one foot, two foot,
slew foot, drag and then hoe it down.
Hell, Billy Fever's going around.
Hell, Billy Fever's going around.
