Does anyone know the rest of the lyrics to this song?? It starts out....

Leprosy.....all my skin is falling off of me....
I'm not half the man I used to be.....
Oh, I've contracted leprosy....

Suddenly, there's a finger floating in my tea.......

That's all I can remember!!!!!! thanks!!

Sorry, no lyrics but I thought I'd share who the singer is, (I hope I'm
right). I think it is Weird Al Yankowicz.

Don't know who the singer is either, but its not "Weird Al" Yankowicz - or
YankoVIC either (sorry - it's just one of my few pet peeves ;) ). \

I'd recommend asking this question on the newsgroup rec.music.dementia (the Dr.
Demento group) - Someone there can probably point in the right direction.

Don't know who the singer is, but I do have some more lyrics, although not the
ones included in the quote....

Leprosy
-Non-Traditional To the tune of "Yesterday" by the Beatles

Leprosy,
All my skin is falling off of me
And it's simple, very plain to see
I've got a case of Leprosy

Leprosy,
Friends and family shy away from me
And I can't afford a colony
Oh I am stuck with Leprosy

Why I have to rot, I know not
I cannot say
Gangrene is better but
I an stuck, with Leprosy

Leprosy,
All my clothes are dirty rags you see
Thats why all the people stare at me
Oh why do I have Leprosy

Why I have to rot, I know not
I cannot say
Gangrene is better but
I am stuck with Leprosy

Leprosy,


I'm not half the man I used to be

Thats 'cause half of me is dead you see
Oh I am plagued with Leprosy

Haven't heard Weird Al's version of Leprosy but used to know one to the tune of
"Jealosy". It went....

Leprosy
Is crawling all over me
There goes my eyeball
Into my highball

Leprosy
Is crawling all over me
There goes my ear
Into my beer.

That's all I remember and can't vouch for 100 percent recall. Anyone else?
