Lou's Got The Flu Lyrics - 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
