Today I am feeling quite lousy

I'm suffering from what's called a cold

My body is aching and paining

In fact I am feeling quite old.

 

My head is all fuzzy and muzzy

My back and my chest's feeling tight

I've trouble getting up in the morning

I'm coughing and can't sleep at night.

 

My throat's feeling dry and it's burning

It is making my voice rather gruff

My eyes and my nose keep on running

With all of the usual stuff.

 

Last week I went out to the doctor

He listened and wrote me a note

`The cold, you will have to put up with

I'm giving you this for your throat'.

 

When I asked him what was the reason?

The story began to unfold

Although we are living in't nineties

A doctor can't cure a cold.

 

The only sure way to get better

Is to stand in the rain 'about a hat

Till the cold turns into pneumonia

Any doctor knows how to cure that.
