about
Every year the government brings out another vaccine for the latest horrific bug that is going to kill us all. To be honest I am more frightened of what they put in the vaccine than I am of getting the flu.
First it was Asian Flu, then Mexican Flu (I wrote a song about that but when they found a cure I stopped singing it) then they had Swine Flu... or was it Bird Flu?
I find it hard to keep up. Next it will be Bogna Regis Flu and we will all be doomed, One Flu they will never cure though is Man Flu. The worst known Flu there ever was. I had it once and wrote this.

Man Flu Song
By Bill bates
It was one morning – without warning
When I woke up – feeling hot
I was achy, a little shaky,
and my head was full snot
I was drowsy, feeling lousy
and I don’t no what to do
I’m freezing, I’m sneezing, 101 degreesing
Oh I think I’ve got man flu
Oh, no! oh, no! (atchoo!!!)
Now I'm aching from my head to toe
How I've caught it - I don’t know,
Its no wonder that I feel so low
Oh please! oh please! (atchoo!!!),
Can’t you see that I'm on my knees
Now I've got this very strange disease.
I’m a goner – yes I know
My nose runny
Its not funny
In fact it’s quite a blow….
I wont pretensa
Its influenza
I’m feeling awful don’t you know
I’m getting grimmer
from limb to limb-er
Oh should I say Adieu?
I’m sweating
I'm fretting
You ought to get the vet in
Yes , I think that its man flu
Oh, no! oh, no! (atchoo!!!)
Now I'm aching from my head to toe
How I've caught it - I don’t know,
Its no wonder that I feel so low
Oh please! oh please! (atchoo!!!),
Can’t you see that I'm on my knees
Now I've got this very strange disease.
I’m a goner – yes I know
I’m feeling prickly , you know I’m sickly
Oh I can’t get it off my chest
My systems crashing, the lights are flashing
I’ll just lay here – I need my rest
I'm in a spiral, I think its viral
Oh-what-I say-is - true
I’m sinking, I’m shrinking,
I know I've started stinking
Because I think I’ve got Man Flu
Oh, no! oh, no! (atchoo!!!)
Now I'm aching from my head to toe
How I've caught it - I don’t know,
Its no wonder that I feel so low
Oh please! oh please! (atchoo!!!),
Can’t you see that I'm on my knees
Now I've got this very strange disease.
I’m a goner – yes I know
Make me a potion, rub on some lotion
Fetch the doctor – make it quick
I need curing – re-assuring
I’ve got a fever –I’m filling sick
Use a hanky – no hanky-panky
Oh, I've got an aching head
If your chilly and your ill (ee)
You’d better pop a pill (ee)
and spend the day in bed
Oh, no! oh, no! (atchoo!!!)
Now I'm aching from my head to toe
How I've caught it - I don’t know,
Its no wonder that I feel so low
Oh please! oh please! (atchoo!!!),
Can’t you see that I'm on my knees
Now I've got this very strange disease.
I’m a goner – yes I know
I am a Warwickshire based singer songwriter and I perform my songs in folk clubs and festivals. My songs are (almost)
autobiographical and often about the ordinary things in life, such as caravan holidays, recycling and a song about a Mars Bar party (where people are supposed to have took their clothes off!) Some of my songs are funny, other songs are serious; either way I hope you like them!...more
