[Verse 1]
I took my girlfriend out for a ride the other night
We stopped in at this drive-in to get us a little bite
Sit in the car, eatin' after one another
Sippin' from the same straw just like a sister and a brother
We got to eatin' and it was gettin' pretty late
So I drove this girl back up to her front gate
Turn off the motor, and ask her for a kiss
And you know she had the nerve to tell me this?
[Chorus]
She said "It ain't sanitary"
That's what she said
"It ain't sanitary", huh
"And I can never let you kiss my lips
'Cause it ain't sanitary"
And thеn she said "Hmm, we might catch germs"
[Verse 2]
Now I'vе been in love with this girl and her cute little ways
Ever since our kindergarden days
But that was one thing I just couldn't understand
Why she refused to let me hold her hand
But she refused, y'all, and that's a natural fact
I tried to hold her hand and she snatched it right back
I ask her why did she snatch her hand and frown
But she said "There's an epidemic goin' around"
[Chorus]
"And it ain't sanitary"
I said "Hmm"
"It ain't sanitary"
That's what she told me
She said "I-I could never let you hold my hand
'Cause it ain't sanitary
And then we might catch germs"
[Interlude]
Ho!
[Verse 3]
She said "It's gettin' late, so I guess I'll go inside
Thanks for the hamburgers, french fries and the ride"
She said "Don't forget about the prom next week
You know you promised that you were gonna take me
And by the way, tomorow I got to go downtown
'Cause I need shoes and a real crazy gown
You flashed your money back at the drive in
And I was just wonderin' if you would loan me ten"
[Chorus]
I said it ain't sanitary, uh-uh
My money ain't sanitary, baby
I can never let you hold this ten
'Cause it ain't sanitary
Who knows, uh
You might catch germs
[Outro]
'Cause it's got epidemics all over and everything
And drinkin' out with a fever
Let's take-a that old ten dollar bill
It ain't no good, let's tear it up
Ain't nothin' gonna, bill don't mean nobody no good
Got the flu and everything, epidemics all over it
He-he-he, you don't give me no kiss
And then you want my money
Let's tear that ten dollar bill over there
Let's tear it all up, let it fly in the air
He-he-he-he-he!
Yeah
