"The Whooping Cough Song"

All my friends they warned me
But I took it in jest
They said that I should go and get mine
Just like all the rest

I said "Please don't pester me,
I'm a careful kind of man.
Pertussis will not get to me!
No, there is no way that it can."

But now I'm coughing up my lungs and my friends are doing fine.
They just sit and point and laugh and say "I can't believe the kind
of stubborn guy you are to not go out and get your Tdap shot!"
Now I'm the guy who's stuck with whooping cough.
Oh oh oh whooping cough
Yeah yeah

So listen to your friends
And listen to the CDC
Even if you think that you're fine
Please go get your Tdap vaccine

'Cause if you don't and pertussis rears it's big fat ugly head
You'll be stuck soundin' like death and you will remember what I said
You'll hear my voice in your head

Cus I'm coughing up my lungs and my friends are doing fine.
They just sit and point and laugh and say "I can't believe the kind of stubborn guy you are to not go out and get your Tdap shot!"
Now I'm the guy who's stuck with whooping cough.


Now I'n coughing up my lungs and my friends are doing fine.
They just sit and point and laugh and say "I can't believe the kind of stubborn guy you are to not go out and get your Tdap shot!"
Now I'm the guy who's stuck with whooping cough

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Whooping cough

Now I'm coughing up my lungs and my friends are doing fine.
They just sit and point and laugh and say "I can't believe the kind of stubborn guy you are to not go out and get your Tdap shot!"
Now I'm the guy who's stuck with whooping cough.
