[00:04]Well, I don't know, but I've been told
[00:06]Uranium ore's worth more than gold
[00:07.98]Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
[00:09.96]I've got that bug and I can't sleep
[00:12.50]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[00:15.95]Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
[00:19.90]With a Geiger counter in my hand
[00:22.30]I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
[00:25]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[00:29]Well I had talk with the AEC
[00:31.10]And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
[00:33.10]And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
[00:35.30]So I straddled my jeep and headed down the road
[00:37.95]I reckon I drove about 100 miles
[00:39.20]Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
[00:41.90]When all of sudden I bounced to a stop
[00:43.80]At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top
[00:45.95]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[00:50.10]Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
[00:53.96]With a Geiger counter in my hand
[00:55.95]I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
[00:58.35]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[01:02.95]Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
[01:05]Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
[01:07]A hunk of rock that would make it click
[01:08.94]Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick
[01:11]On the second day, I made the top
[01:12.90]And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
[01:15]The only clickin' that I heard that day
[01:16.95]Was the bones in my back that had gone astray
[01:19.15]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[01:23]Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
[01:26.98]With a Geiger counter in my hand
[01:29.15]I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
[01:31.98]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[01:35.95]Well, you pack up your things
[01:36.95]You head out again
[01:37.97]Into some unknown spot where nobody's been
[01:39.98]You reach the spot where your fortune lies
[01:42.90]You find it's been staked by 17 other guys
[01:47.90]Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
[01:49.95]That bug's done caught me and I've been bit
[01:51.95]So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
[01:53.90]I'll keep right on stakin' that government land
[01:56.15]Uranium fever has done and got me down
[01:59.95]Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
[02:03.96]With a Geiger counter in my hand
[02:05.95]I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
[02:08.95]Uranium fever has done and got me down
