If you find you have the sniffles
Or a cold or flu
Head for the kitchen
And do what your mom used to do

Make a mustard plaster
And put it on your chest
Head for the bedroom
And let Mother Nature do the rest

Wrap your plaster in a towel
Be sure to take good care
Don't let any leak out the side
Or you could miss some chest hair

A little bit of chicken soup
Will help the cause as well
You'll be up and around in a couple of days
And feeling quite swell

But if the home remedies
Are not your cup of tea
Go see your family doctor
And get some pills from the pharmacy

But if the home remedies
Or the pills don't work for you
Head over to the drug store
And get a box of soft tissue

You can use the tissue
When you cough, sniff or sneeze
But do us all a favour
And stay home please
