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 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 it's bark is much worse than it's bite So we must go out and dance around Yes we must go tonight La grippe!, salsa!
