Lyrics

Chorus
I can’t sleep, I can’t eat
Get a pail and soak my feet
I got a “code” in my “dose” Oooh!
I got a “code” in my “dose”
Please repeat what you said
Funny “doizes” in my head
I got a “code” in my “dose” Oooh!
I got a “code” in my “dose”
Bought myself galoshes, flannel union suits
Over my galoshes I wear a pair of rubber boots
Oh I feel bad, I feel “bub”
Gee I wish that “sprig” would “cub”
I got a “code” in my “dose” Oooh!
I got a “code” in my “dose”

Chorus
Oo my neck, oo my knees
All I do is “stiff” and “steeze”
I got a “code” in my “dose” Oooh!
I got a “code” in my “dose”
Bought a box asperin
Washed it down with Gordon gin
I got a “code” in my “dose” Oooh!
I got a “code” in my “dose”
Went to see the Doctor
Asked him what to do
“Lawdy help the Doctor”
He said, “I think I got one, too”
So we laid down side by side
I’m still here the Doctor died
I got a “code” in my “dose” Oooh!
I got a “code” in my “dose”
