You can hear this recording at YouTube. Here's my transcription:


I'VE GOT A "CODE" IN MY "DOZE" *
As sung by Gracie Fields

Feeling awf'ly bad,
What a time I've had
'Cause I didn't button up my new fur coat!
All is do is sniff,
Wag that handkerchief.
What a funny feeling in my eyes and ears and throat!

I can't sleep. I can't eat.
Get a pail and stomp my feet.
I've got a code in me doze.
Oh, I've got a code in me doze.
Please repeat what you said.
Funny noises(?) in me head.
I've got a code in me doze.
I've got a code in me doze.

Bought myself galoshes, flannel undies, too.
Over my galoshes, I wear a pair of rubber boots.
Oh, I feel bad. I feel bum.
Gee, I wish the spring would come!
I've got a code in me doze.
Oh, I've got a code in me doze.

Mustard plasters on my chest,
Mittens and a leather vest,
Can't do anything to help this doze of mine.
Camphor and a cold compress
Seem to help me less and less.
I look like the red spot on a comic valentine.

Ooh, my neck! Ooh, my knees!
All I do is sniff and sneeze.
I've got a code in me doze.
I've got a code in me doze.
Bought a box [of] aspirin.
Washed it down with real good gin.
I've got a code in me doze.
I've got a code in me doze.

Went to see the doctor, asked him what to do.
Lordy, help the doctor! He said, "I think I've got one too."
So we laid down side by side.
I'm still here but the doctor died.
I've got a code in me doze.
I've got a code in me doze.
