Lyrics:

When you walk up to a juke box and you slip a nickel in
You can bet your bottom dollar when that record starts to spin
You'll hear a fiddle and a guitar with a honky tonkin' sound
It's that hillbilly fever that'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 get 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 darn country rockin' with that big apple beat
It's that hillbilly breakdown that shakes you off 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 starts around you
And you don't know you've been stung
Then you go and see a doctor
And he says 'Poke out your tongue'
But he looks into that canyon, tells you 'Brother, I got news'
You're a victim of sweet daddy and you got the love sick blues

Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
I stopped in Chattanooga gard shinin', I heard this sound
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
Good ol' mountain music's got me down
I'm gonna one foot, two foot, slew foot, draggin'
Then I hoe it down
Hillbilly fever's goin' 'round
