When I was younger I had it for Annette
She gave me thrills right through my TV set
Now I’ve met lots of girls who gave me more than that
Joyce gave me the clap

Then I met Lucy
She gave my heart a turn
But she didn’t dig me
And still my poor heart burned
Now Lucy is gone
She’s married to some sap
Joyce gave me the clap

When I was in high school
I thought I was a king
Until the night that
Vicky gave me back my ring
Now I’ve forgotten
Almost every girl I’ve met
There’s only one who
I just can’t forget

Joyce, you gave me a thrill
But then you took it back
Joyce, you gave me the clap

Oh my darling
As we stroll down life’s highway
We must all find our own direction
But why, my darling
Did you give me such a nasty infection?

Joyce, you gave me a thrill
But then you took it back
Joyce, you gave me the clap

I am nearly certain that I have correctly transcribed these lyrics. I listen to each song many times and write down what I hear but there are often lines that I struggle to understand. If you see a mistake and know the correct lyric, please feel free to email me. ( nowsoundsmusic97@yahoo.com)
