When your throat is feeling scratchy and your nose begins to run Your sinuses are stuffy which is never any fun When your temperature is rising, but your energy is low It's sad to say you've got yourself a cold (Oh no!) You cough a lot, you sniff a lot, you spray with every sneeze You're sleepy but the mucus makes it hard to get your "Z"s You use about a million zillion tissues when you're sick And the gunk you blow is gooey, green, and thick (Ooh, ick!) First you get a little sniffle Then you know you're in a pickle 'Cause a nasty cold is coming Dripping in your nasal plumbing Soon your breath is tough and wheezy; Even talking isn't easy! You got that achy feeling Wow, a cold is unappealing! From the dripping and the wiping, now your nose is sore and red Since you can't go out to play you spend your boring days in bed But if you drink your liquids and you take your time to rest You'll get better every day until you're soon back at your best!
