[Dixielandjazz] Leprosy lyrics

[Jen Beaven]

Interesting. I vaguely remembered it as a Mad parody, but evidently not.
(And I ran across the lyrics before I ever heard "Jealousy", so... NOW it
makes sense!)
Here are the lyrics:
LEPROSY
Leprosy! My God, I've got Leprosy.
There goes my fingernail into my
gingerale.
(Repeat first line)
There goes my chin into my gin.
There goes my ear into my beer.
There goes my thumb into my rum.
There goes my eyeball into my highball.
(Make up your own!)
