who gets the flu in august
who’s even heard of such a thing
one hundred degrees out and you’ve got the chills
sipping on chicken broth, choking down pills
while others are slurping down slushies and licking ice-cream
you’re coughing and you’re wheezing asking
who gets the flu in august
who knew that fate could be so cruel
you should be swimming with all of your friends
perfecting cannon balls in the deep end
there’s just one thing the flu’s good for and that’s missing school
but it’s still summer break for one more week
who gets the flu in august
of course it would have to be you
who gets the flu in august
no doubt it would have to be you
