Lou's Got The Flu

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

Some people bad and some people good



Too bad the bad can't be like the good



But everything changes a little and it should



Good ain't forever and bad ain't for good



And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up



Lou's got the flu and he's laid up



Have to get well pretty soon though



l got sugar in my candy and sugar in my soup



I'm gettin' fat from the candy and sick from the soup



An' true love is sweet but if it's mishandled



A bitter wind blows and out goes your candle



Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up



Lou's got the flu and he's laid up



Have to get well pretty soon though



Now not enough water puts thirst in a man



And just enough water puts joy in his land



But too much water will overflow



And tear the man's land up, so there you go



And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up



Lou's got the flu and he's laid up



Have to get well pretty soon though
