(A Rhybe wridded for The Gadfly)

Whed your dose is code as barbie,
  Ad you sduffle all the day,
Ad your head id is behavig
  Id a bost udbleased way;
Whed your ev'ry joid is achig
  With a very paidful cramb,
Whed your throad is dry ad tiglish,
  Ad your feed are code ad damb;
Whed your eyes are red ad rudding
  With the dears thad will cub oud;
You cad safely bake your bind ub
  There is very liddle doubd.

You've got a code—a code—
  Ad idfluedzal code;
You cahd tell how you caughd id,
  But id's got a good firb hode.
Your face is whide, your eyes are pigk,
  Your dose is red ad blue;
Ad you wish thad you were—
  Ah—Ah—Ah—h—Kish—SHOO-O-O!
