THE FLU.
When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
j
And you're doggone sure you're going
to die,
But you're skeered you won't anu
' afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill.
And pray the Lord to see you thru,
For you've got the Flu, boy. you've
got the Flu:
[When your toes curl up and your belt
goes flat..
I And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas cat.
And life is a long and dismal curse,
.
And your food all taste like hardboiled
hearse,
j When your lattice aches and your
head's a-buzz.
And nothing is as it ever was,
For you've got the Flu. hoy, you've
got the Flu.
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask rue brother, for I've been thru.
It is by Misery out of Despair.
It pulls your teeth and curls your
hair,
It thins your blood and brays your
. bones,
And fills your craw with moans and
groans,
And sometimes, maybe, you get well,
I some can u ^ iu, i can it nen.
