Summertime Flu


Well I'm-a feelin' mighty feverish, I'm feelin' hot 'n' bothered
I been-a sneezin' all summer just a-blowin' out my snotter
A-well I hocked up loogie that was awfully thick
And my boss says, "Go home, Bob, you're coughin' up bricks."
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime flu

A-well I took me seven Tylenol and three Ibuprofen
A-Guaifenesin and Benadryl and Predisone and Motrin
A-well my resp'ratory system's in a terrible state
My doc says, "You're ill, but don't overmedicate."
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime flu

A-for an epidemiologist there's so much to inspire us
Well there's-a monkeypox and HIV and West Nile virus
A-well I went to a specialist and she says, "Wow,
It looks a bit like SARS, but it could be mad cow."
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime flu

I'm gonna take two weeks, gotta cancel my vacation
I'm gonna check my sorry butt into a real hibernation
And when I fin'lly antihistamize and decongest
I'll kick off this elephant that's sittin' on my chest
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime flu
