I am a fierce and ferocious beast Though I'm sure you cannot tell I take my pills and medicine 'Cause I don't feel so well My head is stuffed, my nose it runs It hurts my throat to speak; I'm a brontosaurus with bronchitis I've been like this for a week I'm acting rather civilized But it's not that I've been tamed I can't go romping with my friends 'Cause my throat is all inflamed They say I look emaciated (That means I've gotten thin) Mom feeds me tea with lemon Grandpa drops the nose drops in Grandma makes Cro-Magnon soup Dad give me vitamin C Mom gives me lots of orange juice And lets me watch TV All covered up in a fevered sweat My throat and chest both hurt But I get to watch The Flintstones And have jello for desert
