Lyrics

Nev er know how much I love you,

nev er know how much I care.

When you put your arms a round me, I get a fev er that’s so hard to bear.

You give me fev er

when you kiss me, fev er when you hold me tight.

Fev er

in the morn ing, fev er all through the night.

Sun lights up the day time,

moon lights up the night.

I light up when you call my name, and you know I’m gon na treat you right.

You give me fev er

when you kiss me, fev er when you hold me tight.

Fev er

in the morn ing, fev er all through the night.

Ev ’ry bod y’s got the fev er, that is some thing you all know.

Fev er is n’t such a new thing; (G7)fev er start ed (Bb)long a go.

Oh

yeah.

Ro me o loved Ju liet.

Ju liet she felt the same.

When he put his arms a round her, he said “Ju lie ba by, (B)you’re my flame.” Thou giv est me fev er,

when we kiss eth, fev er with thy flam ing youth.

Fev er.

I’m a fire, (G#7)fev er yea, I (B)burn, for sooth.

Cap tain Smith and Po ca hon tas had a ver y mad af fair.

When her dad dy tried to kill him, she said (Em)“Dad dy o (A7)don’t you dare!

He gives me fev er

with his kiss es, (Abmaj7)fev er when he (G7)holds me tight.

Fev (Dm)er,

I’m his (A7)Mis sus, oh (G7)dad dy won’t you (C)treat him right.”

Go!

Now you’ve lis tened to my sto ry,

here’s the point that I have made:

Chicks were born to give you fev er, be it Fah ren heit or Cen ti grade, they give you fev ver

when you kiss them, fev er if you live and learn.

Fev er

till you siz zle, what a love ly way to burn.

What a love ly way to burn.

What a love ly way to burn.

What a love ly way to burn.

About “Fever”

Can I sing "Fever" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "Fever" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in F, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Fever" by Peggy Lee in?
The backing track is in F at 188 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Fever" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Fever"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Fever", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Fever" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Fever"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Fever"?
"Fever" was originally performed by Peggy Lee. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Peggy Lee are available?
Other accompaniments by Peggy Lee: "Black Coffee", "My Love Forgive Me (Amore Scusami)". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
Is there a karaoke version of "Fever" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Fever" by Peggy Lee. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Fever" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in F, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Fever" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
