[Verse 1]
D
Some people bad and some people good
                      A
Too bad the bad can't be like the good
D                        G
But everything changes a little and it should
A   N.C.
Good ain't forever and bad ain't for good

[Chorus 1]
    D                                                              A
And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up
D                          G
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up
A                       D
Have to get well pretty soon though

[Verse 2]
D
I got sugar in my candy and sugar in my soup
                                   A
I'm getting fat from the candy and sick from the soup
D                      G
True love is sweet but if it's mishandled
A N.C.
A bitter wind blows and out goes your candle

[Chorus 2]
    D                                                              A
And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up
D                          G
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up
A                       D
Have to get well pretty soon though

[Verse 3]
D
Now not enough water puts thirst in a man
                           A
And just enough water puts joy in his land
D                       G
But too much water will overflow
    A N.C.
And tear the man's land up, so there you go

[Chorus 3]
    D                                                              A
And Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up, laid up
D                          G
Lou's got the flu and he's laid up, laid up
A                       D
Have to get well pretty soon though
