There's a flu bug getting passed around 
Spreading like fire through this town
There's a virus holing up inside us
Each one that I know is coming down
There's an Asian influenza 
Infecting us all by the scores
And it's turning into pneumonia 
We must go out once more 
There's a fool moon howling at the night 
And each bark is much worse than each bite
So we must go out and dance around 

Yes we must go tonight 
So the doctors came on the evening train
With their flasks and their caskets and vials
Mass psychosis was their diagnosis (yes)
So we all cashed our checks and went wild 
There's a fool moon howling at the night 
And each bark is much worse than each bite
So we must go out and dance around 
Yes we must go tonight 
La Grippe!, Salsa!
