Original Song Title:

"Leaving on a Jet Plane"

Original Performer:

Peter, Paul, and Mary

  
Parody Song Title:

"Ode to Robitussin"

Parody Written by:

Pyth

The song is meant to be song to a bottle of cough syrup (when I've sang this at karaoke, I bring props...) I had actually made this much earlier to be a more generic parody on getting sick, but with the news about the Swine Flu, I've updated it to be more timely.
Oh I've coughed and hacked; I've got a cold
I'm lying here. I feel so low
I ache so much I hadn't slept last night.

The fever ain't breaking, this early morn
I grab a Kleenex and blow my "horn"
Already I'm so sick that I could cry

[Chorus:]
So dizzy and vile, you see
Hoping that you will cure me
Oh wheeze and sniffle up my nose
'Cuz I'm sneezing and I've got pain
Don't know when I'll be well again
Oh God I hate this cold.

There's so many times my immune's been down
So many bugs just goin' around
I tell you now, I catch everything

Every place I go, I get the flu
In Mexico I got -- *Achuu!*
When I came back, I had this retched thing

[To Chorus]

Now's the time for me to take you
One more time, this ain't the pig flu
Pinch my nose and you'll be on your way.

I'll dream about the days to come
When I won't need this medicine
About the time when I won't have to say...

[To Chorus]

I wish I didn't know what you were talking about. It may be pig flu though :)
