Influenza

Left the apartment for the grocery store
With the promise of a Girl Scout sale by the front door
But when I got the store they were sold out of Tagalongs
Those miscreant girls, I need my fix so I can get along

I spend my evenings in the changing light
It spills through the seasons and my shade's drawn tight
Listening to this mortal coil in a knee-long lizard shirt
Surviving off Thai food and Facetiming with my mom
Hey mom!

Baby, I've got influenza
Sugar, let me influence ya

Hi honey, it's me. Before I forget, I wanted to tell you that you gotta take a probiotic because of the antibiotic you're taking. You can't take it within three hours of taking the antibiotic, so you either have to take it at night, or three hours after--

Baby, I've got influenza
Sugar, let me influence ya
Oh, baby, I've got influence (let me influence ya)
Come on sugar, let me influence ya
Baby, I've got influenza
Sugar (lady won't you influence me)
