The Swine Flu Song

Just a short, spontaneous video of my friend Caoimhe, (pronounced Cu-wee-va), singing a song she wrote a while back during the Swine Flu, (remember Swine Flu..?), outbreak, recorded on Grand Parade Street, Cork, Ireland.

Lyrics:
-talking intro-
It happened a long time ago,
Back in a place called Mexico..
They said 'Batten down the hatches,
Keep the kiddies inside,
There's a virus a-coming,
Better run and hide.
Can't smell it nor hear it,
But it's coming for you!
We call it....
Swine flu!'

-singing-

It roamed across the land,
From the tundras to the Mexican sand..
The media went crazy,
Everyone was going mad!
You weren't even allowed to hug your own dad.

Chorus:
Why can't I kiss you?
Because you have swine flu,
But I don't care if you do!
Infect me, infect me, infect me, infect me..

H1N1, H1N1, H1N1, H1N1
Catch it, bin it, kill it, whatever,
Sceptics say it's just from the weather,
Hypochondriacs in A&E,
When all you need is a cup of tea.

Vaccinations,
Hand sanitations,
Hyperventilation among your population!

-Chorus-

Let's have some fun this pig is sick,
I'll give you a hit with my swine flu stick,
Don't think too much just pop that pill,
I wanna go to bed 'cos I feel so ill.

We hope you get better soon,
So we can hijack your room..
We'll bring flowers,
And wear a mask or two
When we come and visit you..

Just pleeeaase..
Don't infect me, infect me, infect me, infect me..

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo, it's all alright yeah!
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo, it's all alright yeah!
Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo, it's all alright yeah!

Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo, we're all gonna diiie..


Sorry about the buses and cars and talking, and the break where she gets a plectrum.. And the not-amazing quality, I took it on my iPod..xD

I've been trying to convince her to put her songs on YouTube for ages, but she never listens to me, so I've taken matters into my own hands...
Thanks for watching!
