Leprosy / Yesterday Song Parody (possibly in a barbershop quartet style)

[Rich Kegarise]

Hello,

I heard from a friend that Dr. Demento used to play a parody of the
Beatles' "Yesterday" called "Leprosy". I managed to find the lyrics
on the web, but I'm looking for an MP3. I have no idea who recorded
it. Any ideas or even information about this sing?

Rich

Leprosy.
All my skin is coming off of me.
I'm not half the man I used to be.
Oh how did I get Leprosy?

Syphilis.
It just started with a simple kiss.
Now it even hurts to take a piss.
Oh how did I get Syphilis?

Why her box was sick, I dont know, she wouldnt say.
Now my dripping dick wont get thick like yesterday.

Yesterday, my cock was always coming out to play.
Now it needs 2 weeks to hide away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

I was there when my father helped write the lyrics. We laughed our butts off trying to come up with them (in Yosemite in the mid 80's.) The barbershop quartet Eufouria recorded it & Dr Demento played it on radio. I used to have a cassette with all the song parodies they wrote. Never found any recording on the web, probably since it's so old. The CORRECT lyrics to their version are:

Leprosy

by Eu-Four-Ia
parody of "Yesterday" by The Beatles

Leprosy,
What a sorry mess I am to see.
Even friends can't stand to look at me.
Oh, I despise
My leprosy.

Gradually,

I'm not half the man I used to be.

Pieces keep on falling off of me.
It happens now
So gradually.

When my tongue fell off,
I don't know, I couldn't say.
I said, [*garbled*] "mmmm mmmm mmmm".
Now I long for that sweet day
When I had no

Leprosy.
Making love with me could never be.
Yes, I've lost my chance for ecstasy.
Oh I despise
My leprosy.
