When you walk up to a juke box and you slip a nickel in, 
You bet your bottom dollar when that record starts to spin
You'€™ll hear a fiddle and a gittar with a honky tonkin'€™ sound
It'€™s hillbilly fever and it'€™s speadin'€™ all around.

Hillbilly fever'€™s goin'€™ '€˜round
Good ol'€™ mountain music'€™s got me down.
It'€™s got me robbin'€™ castles, throwin'€™ rice and slippin'€™ around.
Hillbilly fever'€™s got me down.

When you git that jumpy feelin'€™ and you don'€™t know what is wrong
Don'€™t you worry about bother there'€™s a brand new mountain song
That'€™s got the whole durn country rockin'€™ with that big gavel beat
It'€™s the hillbilly breakdown that shakes you off a your feet

Hillbilly fever'€™s goin'€™ '€˜round
Good ol'€™ mountain music'€™s got me down.
I spent a Sunday down in Tennessee and here'€™s what I found
Hillbilly fever'€™s goin'€™ '€˜round

When that love bug comes around you and you don'€™t know you been stung
And you go and see a doctor and he says poke out your tongue
And he looks into that canyon, tells you brother I got news
You'€™re the victim of sweet buddy and you got the love sick blues

Hillbilly fever'€™s goin'€™ '€˜round
Good ol'€™ mountain music'€™s got me down.
I'€™m gonna one foot, two foot sweet foot drag then I hold you down
Hillbilly fever'€™s goin'€™ '€˜round
