i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

i woke up this mornin'
i thought i'd caught a cold
nope...i've caught a 'flu bug
don't want it...sucker's bold

i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

i woke up this mornin'
my forehead's feelin' hot
so i called into work
i feel like...you know...snot

i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

i woke up this mornin'
my throat's all red and sore
i'm poppin' lozenges
i'm really feelin' poor

i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

i woke up this mornin'
my joints are achin' bad
i need some medicine
bein' sick makes me sad

i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

i woke up this mornin'
was sneezin' my head off
dang...i hate bein' sick
havin' this stupid cough

i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

i woke up this mornin'
least i'm not throwin' up
like i did yesterday...
'cause i am one sick pup

i've got the sick sore throat influenza blues
stay away from me or you might catch it, too

AHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

sorry 'bout that! feel like...well, you know...snot,
but i thought writin' a song 'bout it would make
me feel better...and bring a smile to your faces!
(((long distance HUGS))) [so you don't catch
what i've got], and much love, karla. :(

share everything!!
