There's a flu bug getting passed around 

and it's spreading like fire through the town

There's a virus holing up inside us

Everyone that I know is coming down

There's an Asian influenza 

Infecting us all by the score

And it's turning into pneumonia 

We must go out once more 

There's a fool moon howling at the night 

And it's bark is much worse than it's bite

So we must go out and dance around 

Yes we must go out tonight 

So the doctors came on the evening train

With their flasks and their caskets and vials

Mass psychosis was their diagnosis

So we all cashed our checks and went wild 

There's a fool moon howling at the night 

And it's bark is much worse than it's bite

So we must go out and dance around 

Yes we must go out tonight 

La Grippe!
