Coming Down With Old VD 
Coming Down With Old VD (Mark Cohen) 
The single life's full of toil and strife And it's lonely all the time You hit the bars on Friday night Looking for a thrill sublime A one night stand can be something grand But approach it carefully It's not much fun to be the one Coming down with old VD. 
Coming down with old VD, me boys, Coming down with old VD. Don't get too close or you might get a dose Coming down with old VD. 
Now who'd have thought that you'd get caught. Sometimes life's just not too fair You took a chance; you asked her to dance. Pretty soon you're floating on air. But in a week you take a peek Even though you'd rather not see Now she's to blame, but what was her name You've come down with old VD. 
My friend Pauline is upright and clean And she never plays around. And her boyfriend Ted was true, she said Even when he's out of town. One day Pauline didn't feel too keen So she went to Doctor Lee Now she's kicked Ted out 'cause she found out She'd come down with old VD. 
Now times weren't bad when all we had Was Syph, or Gonaree If you got caught, you'd be cured with a shot At your local clinic for free. But those times my friend are at an end, There is Herpes now, you see, So there ain't no shot for what you've got And you're stuck with your VD.
