Asiatic Flu

John D. Loudermilk


There's a little bitty bug that's a-goin' all around 
He's a-hittin' all the cities and he's hittin' all the towns 
Beetles don't claim him and neither do the fleas 
Because he makes everybody a-choo (sneeze)! 
I've got that Asiatic Flu 

Well he comes slippin' in when you least expect him 
Folks are a-takin' those shots to protect them 
I got mine just the other day 
Now my sneezin's all gone a-choo! 
Still got that Asiatic Flu 

He can make feel you so doggone blue 
Your eyes will run and your nose will too 
Your head will ache and you'll chill and freeze 
But most of all you'll sit and sn-a-choo! 
I've got that Asiatic Flu 

Now London has a bridge that's known to the world 
And evening in Paris will make your hair curl 
Russia's always kickin' up a hullabaloo 
And Asia's got a bug called the A-a-choo! 
That Asiatic Flu 

Now here we were just as fine we as could be 
When in walked a bug just as big as you please 
You know what I think about this here disease 
Give it back to the Asians and let them sn-a-choo! 
Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu 
Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu
