RUNNIN' A TEMPERATURE
(Milton Pascal / Edgar Fairchild)

Jimmie Lunsford & his Orchestra (vocal : Sy Oliver)

Also recorded by : Erik Frank.


Oh honey I'm runnin' a temperature
Could you advise a tonic
All of my symptoms point to you
Oh honey my heart is delirious
Gosh! I'm afraid it's chronic
How does it look
Will I pull through
Now there's no time for delay
Mine is an emergency case
And keep those doctors away
I'll take my treatment in your embrace
Oh honey I'm running a temperature
Hoping it proves contagious
How can you say "No"
I'm a volcano
Just burnin' up for you
