Once in a while, I find my snot
Decides it wants to reproduce a lot
And I don't like it, it's so messy
As soon as I hear that little sniff
I know I'm gonna fill a lot of bins
With tissues I've used, it's so pesky
My face is frownin', in snot I'm drownin'

I-I-I've got the common cold, it bi-i-ites, I wish it would go away
I-I don't like havin' colds, they bi-i-ite, lastin' for sev-e-ral days
I-I've caught the common cold, it bi-i-ites, there go my plans for today
I hate havin' this cold, it bi-i-ites, feels like a clog in my brain

I remember my first cold when I was five
When it was all cleared up, I said "Well, I'm
Glad it's one time, cause that was sticky"
My mum then told me I was wrong
"It keeps comin' back, so keep strong"
I now know the science, it's still drippy
It's really lousy, makes me feel drowsy

I-I-I'm still stuck with this cold, it bi-i-ites, so many tissues each day
I-I've got the common cold, it bi-i-ites, use two at a time, okay
I-I don't like havin' colds, they bi-i-ite, tissues break easily, lame
I've caught the common cold, it bi-i-ites, so very hard to stay sane
I-I've got the common cold, it bi-i-ites, puttin' me under such strain
I-I don't like havin' colds, they bi-i-ite, the noise ain't pleasant, okay
I-I've caught the common cold, it bi-i-ites, obscures the words that I say
I hate havin' this cold, it bi-i-ites, can't wait 'til it goes away
