I'm gonna call in sick
See, I just can't do it
I got the phone in my hand, I got a script, that I wrote a plan
Oh, yeah
See, I've been up all night
With one of the worse cases this town has ever seen
And if I come in Debbie, if I come in, Debbie
I'm gonna take down the whole team
And then, I'll have blood on my hands
Well, the machine won't operate at full speed
The itchy yarn of wool will unravel
And they won't cope at the pharmacy
Yeah, we'll be forced out on the streets, Debbie
Me and the whole of level one finance
We'll plague everyday folk
Mothers at school gates in high heels, and contamination pants, oh
But it won't stop there, Debbie, no
That fever will spread high, that fever'll spread low
It could take down the better half of the city
And depending on which district you're livin' in
I could take you all down with me
I'm gonna call in sick
You know it's for the greater good
'Cause I'm just thinkin' of you, and your children's, children's future
It's the only decent thing to do
And one day should probably become two (one, two)
And perhaps if I take a third (three, four)
We should play it safe and round it up to four
And who goes in on a Friday? (Who goes in on a Friday? Who goes in on a Friday?)
(C'mon, who goes in on a Friday? C'mon, who goes in on a Friday?)
Out of interest, who's working Friday?
Is Andy in?
Right, I'm definitely dyin' then because
I don't know what it is about him
But that is some next level shit that I just cannot deal with
I'm gonna call in sick
You know, I've been feelin' kinda nauseous, as it is
This job is not what I wanted at all
I mean, I mean any moment now my doctor he's, he's probably gonna call
Okay, alright, it's no secret, I've never been keen
But, but I could poison the whole canteen
Yeah, I should, I should stay home for good measure
No, no, I can't risk it, Debbie, no, no, not in this kinda weather
Let it rain
Let it pour
♪
I'm gonna call in sick
And I'm gonna lie in the bed that I've made
It's been nothin' but hassle gettin' here, I mean
I mean the light it's, it's beginnin' to fade
Don't you feel guilty though, Debbie, no
You can do your fun runs in, in my name
Oh, cruel world, why me, why now?
