Oh you’re a real tough virus with a short history Of compromising lungs like the ones in me That’s okay, you’re not gonna do it Roll up my sleeve, let’s get down to it

Give me my vaccine shot Go on and give me my vaccine shot Give me my vaccine shot I’ll even pay

You come on with a fever You don’t fight fair That’s okay, see if I care Floating droplets, all in vain Soon I’ll be on the streets again

Give me my vaccine shot Go on and give me my vaccine shot Dr. Fauci’s real hot I’ve gotta say

So you’re a real tough virus with a short history Of taking taste and smell of everything we see Before you put my name down as another case Here’s an injection, put you in your place

Give me my vaccine shot Go on and give me my vaccine shot Give me my vaccine shot I’m not your prey

Give me my vaccine shot Go on and give me my vaccine shot Freedom’s what I have sought It starts today!
