THE LATES WHEEZE

When YOUR head is blazing, burning
And your brain within is turning
Into butter-milk from churning,
It's the Flu.
When your joints are creaking'
cracking,
As if all the fiends were racking,
All the devils were attacking,
It's the Flu,
When your stomach grows uneasy,
Quaking, querulous and queasy,
All dyspeptic and diseasy,
It's the Flu.
When you have appendicitis,
Par-en-chy-ma-tous ne-phri-tis,
Laryngitis, or gastritis,
It's the Flu.
When you have a corn, a pimple,
Complicated i'll, or simple,
Broken bone, or fading dimple,
It's the Flu.
When no matter what assails you,
If no doctor knows what ails you,
Then the answer never fails you.
It's the Flu.
Chorus.
It's the Flu, Flu, Flu!
Which has you, you, you;
II has caught you and it's got you
And it sticks like glue,
It's the doctors pet and passion,
It's the very latest fashion,
So sneeze bit,
And wheeze Bit
Ka-chew, chew, chew!
