Sick

Lyrics

"I cannot go to school today!"
 Said little Peggy Ann McKay
 "I have the measles and the mumps
 A gash, a rash, and purple bumps
 My mouth is wet, my throat is dry
 I'm going blind in my right eye
 My tonsils are as big as rocks
 I've counted sixteen chicken pox
 And there's one more, that's seventeen
 And don't you think my face looks green?
 My leg is cut, my eyes are blue
 It might be instamatic flu
 I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke
 I'm sure that my left leg is broke
 My hip hurts when I move my chin
 My belly button's caving in
 My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained
 My 'pendix pains each time it rains
 My nose is cold, my toes are numb
 I have a sliver in my thumb
 My neck is stiff, my spine is weak
 I hardly whisper when I speak
 My tongue is filling up my mouth
 I think my hair is falling out
 My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight
 My temperature is 108
 My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear
 There's a hole inside my ear
 I have a hangnail, and my heart is... what?
 What's that? What's that you say?
 You say today is Saturday? Ha-ha
 G'bye, I'm goin' out to play"
