You're the virus I got...

To the tune of Grease/You’re the one that I want

I’ve got chills, they’re multiplyin’, and I’ve got a sore throat

Home remedies that I’m tryin’, feels like I’m dyin

Really runny nose, now I cough and ache

and the doctor says its flu

Really runny nose, now it’s in my chest

To my lab I must be true,

There’s nothing  left, nothing left for Doc to do

Chorus:

It’s a rhino I’ve got

(a tiny little rhinovirus), not the flu, Doctor

A rhino I’ve got (a tiny little rhinovirus),

not the flu, Doctor

A rhino I’ve got (a tiny little rhinovirus),

not the flu

It’s all I need (an A or C)

Oh yes indeed (yes indeed)

If you’re filled with secretions

Lungs too hard to inflate

Medicate, must aren’t worth mention, resistance you’ll make

Starting to wheeze, cause of cytokines

I need some air, maybe ’roids will pull me through

Starting to wheeze, is it RSV?

I don’t have two, just an HRV that’s all

Are you sure? Well those PCRs wouldn’t lie

Chorus: (repeats out)

Thanks to Katherine Arden and Cassandra Faux for helping me put these together back in 2008.
