LYRICS: It's often hard to know what to do You hear different arguments, points of view What is wrong, and what is true? On the subject of the virus Our attitude to mortality How we feel about authority Filter and form all our opinions Am I being righteous? But if in doubt about how to act Then always do, what's best for other people Where a mask that filters well Wash your hands, distance and gel Open windows, ventilate Vaccinate Run in the mountains, swim in the sea Build robust immunity Limit your plate and watch your weight Vaccinate So kids can go back to school Cos keeping them at home is cruel Don't ruminate or hesitate Vaccinate Don't trust to fate or leave it late Calculate it could mutate If you postulate or speculate Or read posts about conspiracies And if in doubt about vaccines Browse horrible photos of defeated diseases Birth defects brought on by Rubella The terrible shock of Chickenpox Parents in hysteria, kids with Diphtheria Vaccinate Would you like Hepatitis or Rotavirus? Or the evils that come from Measles It's cretinous to risk tetanus Vaccinate    You don't want your kids low with Polio Only silly men scoff at Whooping Cough You'll feel like a chump if they get the Mumps Vaccinate
