LYRICS:
It's often hard to know what to do
You hear different arguments, points of view
What is wrong, and what is true?
On the subject of the virus
Our attitude to mortality
How we feel about authority
Filter and form all our opinions
Am I being righteous?
But if in doubt about how to act
Then always do, what's best for other people
Where a mask that filters well
Wash your hands, distance and gel
Open windows, ventilate
Vaccinate
Run in the mountains, swim in the sea
Build robust immunity
Limit your plate and watch your weight
Vaccinate
So kids can go back to school
Cos keeping them at home is cruel
Don't ruminate or hesitate
Vaccinate
Don't trust to fate or leave it late
Calculate it could mutate
If you postulate or speculate
Or read posts about conspiracies
And if in doubt about vaccines
Browse horrible photos of defeated diseases
Birth defects brought on by Rubella
The terrible shock of Chickenpox
Parents in hysteria, kids with Diphtheria
Vaccinate
Would you like Hepatitis or Rotavirus?
Or the evils that come from Measles
It's cretinous to risk tetanus
Vaccinate
You don't want your kids low with Polio
Only silly men scoff at Whooping Cough
You'll feel like a chump if they get the Mumps
Vaccinate
