EVERYONE UNISON (CLASP HANDS) We just want to sing this classy fugue for you. But I just keep sneezing and sneezing And my partner’s coughing and wheezing and I don’t think Bach wrote sneezes in this fugue. SPOKEN Do You? (HANDS TO HIPS) I don’t think we’ll ever make it through this song without Kleenex, coughdrops and Nyquil. Hot tea and heat pad and Vicks and a doctor bill and anyway, I think it’s much too long! (ALL SING, BUT DOWN TO KNEES ROW BY ROW) Please pass the Kleenex, Hand out the coughdrops. Turn on the vaporizer. Call for the flushots. (ALL SING, BUT STAND UP ROW BY ROW) Dish out the chicken soup. Hand out the crackers. Please call my mother, I’m feeling sick! BACK ROWS Mom please take me home--------------------- FRONT ROWS Put me to bed------------------------------- BACK ROWS I have this cold--------------------------------------- FRONT ROWS My aching head----------------------------- BACK ROWS I should have stayed-------------------------------- FRONT ROWS home like you said-------------------------- ALL But here I am instead, ALL SING TOGETHER I don’t want to sing this classy fugue for you, ‘cause we keep on sneezing and sneezing, and my partner’s coughing and wheezing and I don’t think Bach had sneezing in this fugue. ALL SPOKEN: ACHOO!
