When I get home from my job I turn on my T.V.
  But I can't keep my mind on the show
  When I lay down at night, oh I can't get no sleep
  So I turn on my radio
  But the only sound I hear is you whisperin' in my ear
  The words that you used to say
  Now my days grow longer
  'Cause my love grows stronger
  And the fever gets worse
  And I've got the fever for this girl
    CHORUS
  Got the fever, oh I've got the fever
  Nothing that a po' boy can do
  When he's got the fever for this girl
  Got the fever, oh I've got the fever
  Left this little boy blue
    I can remember comin' home
  See you standin' at the stove
  With the dishes on the table
  Dinner ready to go
  We'll maybe go out to a movie show
  Something that you like to see
  Well now you are my sun in the morning
  And my moon at night
  I think about you baby
  I feel alright
  Now my days grow longer
  'Cause my love grows stronger
  And the fever gets worse
  And I've got the fever for this girl
    CHORUS
