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!
