[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
[Instrumental Scatting Bridge]

[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
[Instrumental Scatting Bridge 2]

[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
