lou's got the flu

some people bad and some people good

too bad the bad can't be like the good

but everything changes a little and it should

good ain't forever and bad ain't for good

and lou's got the flu and he's laid up

laid up

laid up

lou's got the flu and he's laid up

have to get well pretty soon though

l got sugar in my candy and sugar in my soup

l'm getting fat from the candy and sick from the soup

true love is sweet but if it's mishandled

a bitter wind blows and out goes your candle

and lou's got the flu and he's laid up

laid up

laid up

lou's got the flu and he's laid up

have to get well pretty soon though

now not enough water puts thirst in a man

and just enough water puts joy in his land

but too much water will overflow

and tear the man's land up

so there you go

and lou's got the flu and he's laid up

laid up

laid up

lou's got the flu and he's laid up

have to get well pretty soon though
