I am scared of needles - ouch
But there’s one thing that I know - what’s that
I don’t want a fever
We can’t keep it hot
If we catch the cold
(Chorus)
Circle circle dot dot
Now I got my cootie shot
Circle circle dot dot
Now I got my cootie shot
Got my cootie shot
Got my cootie shot
Circle circle dot dot
Now I got my cootie shot
Got my cootie shot
Now I got my cootie shot
Come on come on baby
Roll up your sleeves
Get this remedy
So we can play beats keep it shaking
Come on, come on baby - you know
Roll up your sleeves - that them cooties contagious
Get this remedy -yes them cooties contagious
So we can play beats keep it shaking
(Chorus)
Call your parents
Your niblings
And your next of kin
Call your Grandmama
And your best friend
Ask them
Did you shoot your shot - did you shoot it
Did you roll up your sleeves - shoot your shot
Trying to slow this disease - shoot your shot
Those corona cooties - shoot your shot
Circle circle dot dot
Everybody needs that cootie shot
I am scared of needles
But I’m brave and my body
Can be healthy and strong
So I can get on
I want to play with my friends
So put that shot in my arm
Aye
I am scared of needles
But there’s one thing that I know
I don’t want a fever
We can’t keep it hot
If we catch the cold
(Chorus x 2)
