I don't know, I've been told
Uranium ore is worth more than gold
So I went and bought me a jeep
Got that bug and I can't sleep
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreading all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm going out to stake me some government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Well I had a little talk with the AEC
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
One showed me a spot that he said he'd known
So I straddled my jeep and headed down the road
Well I reckon I drove about a hundred miles
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
When all of a sudden I bounced to a stop
At the foot of a mountain didn't have no top
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreading all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm going out to stake me some government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
A hunk of rock that would make it click
Just like I'd read about in Vernon Pitt
On the second day I made the top
I'm telling you boys I was ready to stop
The only clicking that I heard that day
Was the bones in my back that I caught in a spring
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever is spreading all around
With a Geiger counter in my hand
I'm going out to stake me some government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down
Well you pack your things, you set out again
To some unknown spot where nobody's been
You reach the spot where your fortune lies
You find it's been staked by seventeen other guys
Well I ain't kidding, ain't gonna quit
The bug's got me and I'm done and bent
So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
I'll keep right on staking that government land
Uranium fever has done and got me down
