Summer Colds

Sung to the Tune of Summer Night from Grease

Stephen Joltin
A summer cold just kicked my ass - summer cold never leave very fast
I got a cold as bad as can be - stuffy nose, decides to run free. Oh my cough is eating my lung, have a coat on top of my tongue.
Tell me more, tell me more, did you get cough up some phlegm?
Tell me more; tell me more, does this cold ever end?
Please save my life and give me a lozenge or quickly squeeze me a Florida orange. This summer colds, it's just begun, but uh-oh will it last very long?
I hear 30 days is average at best. 30 days of liquids and rest. Summer colds are the worst summer things that a young guy can get.
All my friends just left for the beach. I'm alone my inhaler in reach. And I'll miss most those great summer nights. I'm quite sure I will get no invites.
All because of this cold, oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh, yeah I'm screwed till next year. Oh yeah! Oh yeah. And worst is they'll be no summer loves for those long and hot summer nights.

    I hate summer colds. DOn't know if they are actually worse or if they feel worse because it is so nice outside. Maybe someday they will find a cure for colds. (I can hope, can't I?)
