The Winter Flu Blues

Someone asked me last week how, after almost two months of sickness in our houses, I was keeping sane and seeming to have a positive attitude about the whole thing. It hadn't really occured to me I had a choice in the matter. Do other moms throw fits or break down? I haven't really had time to contemplate my options, been too busy fighting fever, dispensing medicines, covering the chilled, and cleaning up the vomit. In times like these, there's only one thing to do.

We've gotta sing.

Where's a harmonica when you need one?

The Winter Flu Blues

This winter's been stinkin'. This winter's been mean.

This has been the worst year...for flu I've ever seen.

I've got the blues. I've got the winter flu blues.

The snifflin', sneezin', coughin', achin'

Throw up in the office waitin'

Rottin', snottin'

Winter flu blues

They've all had it, not once now, but twice

Now mercy, mercy me

The doctor's done told me my poor little baby's got

Round number three!

I've got the blues. I've got the win-in-ter blues.

The snifflin', sneezin', coughin', achin'

Don't know how much more I can be takin'

Rottin', snottin'

Winter flu blues

We buy tissues in bulk now

Gatorade and soup too

And I'd be so rich now

If I had stock in Tamiflu

I've got the blues. I've got the winter flu blues.

Said I've got the blues. The nasty winter flu blues.

Yes, yes I heard you.

I'll stay away from you.
