La Grippe

There's a flu bug getting passed around

Spreading like fire through this town

There's a virus holing up inside us

Each one that I know is coming down

There's an Asian influenza

Infecting us all by the scores

And it's turning into pneumonia

We must go out once more

There's a fool moon howling at the night

And each bark is much worse than each bite

So we must go out and dance around

Yes we must go tonight

So the doctors came on the evening train

With their flasks and their caskets and vials

Mass psychosis was their diagnosis (yes)

So we all cashed our checks and went wild

There's a fool moon howling at the night

And each bark is much worse than each bite

So we must go out and dance around

Yes we must go tonight

La Grippe!, Salsa!
