Reinvented here by Stephen Ridley and his 'string experience', comprising world renowned stringsmiths Asya Sorshneva, Eugene Subbotin, Nikita Sidorov, and Olga Demina.

Lyrics:

Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever! in the morning

Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever

When you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever! in the morning

Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever

That is something you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing

Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet

Juliet, she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame

"Thou giveth fever "When we kisseth

"Fever with thy flaming youth

"Fever! I'm afire

"Fever, yea, I burn, forsooth."

Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas

Had a very mad affair

When her daddy tried to kill him

She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare!

"He gives me fever "With his kisses

"Fever when he holds me tight

"Fever! I'm his missus

"Daddy, won't you treat him right?"

Now you've listened to my story

Here's the point that I have made

Chicks were born to give you fever

Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever

When you kiss them

Fever if you live and learn

Fever! till you sizzle

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn
