(AMBER)
Tracy Turnblad, this song is for you!
They came from way far out
In outer space
She's hard to miss and so
They landed on her face
(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 nails
Fuzzy legs, laying eggs
Come on everybody, let's stamp them out!
(COUNCIL MEMBERS)
She's got cooties!
(AMBER)
In science class
She's like a walking show-and-tell
(COUNCIL MEMBERS)
She's got cooties!
(AMBER)
You know she's coming down the hall
From just her 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
Dot, dot, dot
(AMBER & COUNCIL MEMBERS )
Hurry, get your cootie shot!
(AMBER)
Dresses like a circus clown
(AMBER & COUNCIL MEMBERS)
Somebody oughta hose her down
(AMBER)
Grew up in a cootie zoo
I bet her two-ton mama's got 'em too!
And that's for you!
