Infection's just a sneeze away
When you have the flu.

Someone sneezed on me today
And now I'm sneezing, too.

I sneezed when going through the room
Feeling low and grim.

I knew then without a doubt
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that sneeze
And all that could be hurt.

 A sneeze from flu-- from me to you
Could go around the earth.

So if you have to sneeze
Don't leave it unprotected.

Let's stop this epidemic
Before the world’s infected.
