  If you don't believe that whooping-cough causes lots of woe, Just catch a few whooping germs and then I guess you'll know That whoopee-whoops! and wheepee-wheeps! are not one bit of fun, When you see others playing games where all must jump and run; For if you jump or if you run, you start the whoop-oop-oop! And even if you're tired you can't sleep for the croup, Caused by the awful whooping bugs, which lurk within your throat And make your voice sound hoarser than the singing of a goat. For fear of spreading whooping bugs you certainly can't go But you must stay at home ALONE from three to six long weeks, And listen to your croaking voice, which whoops and sometimes squeaks. So therefore take the good advice of a little girl who knows, And stay away from WHOOPING-COUGH, which causes lots of woes. |
