Song

Callin' In Sick
"Weird Al" Yankovic
====================
(subtle bass and guitar with minimal drums [ie. closed hi-hat])
Hit my snooze alarm for the 27th time
Just don't feel like going to work - I think I'll call my boss then I'm
Gonna hack and cough and wheeze
Swear I've got some strange disease
What's that little twerp gonna say? Hey...
(Chorus) - (Hard rock style, lots of crashes, overdriven guitar)
I'm callin' in sick today
Callin' in sick today
I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes To Camp"
I could sit and count my hair
I could burp my Tupperware
I'm not busy now anyway. Hey..........
(Chorus)
I'm callin' in sick today
Callin' in sick today
Ain't going to work, no way
Callin' in sick today
(Bridge) - (same as chorus)
I can do anything I want to
I am invincible now
I'm on fire, baby
I'm alive, I'm alive, can you hear me, world?
I'm alive!
Maybe I'll spend all day staring at the sun and trying not to squint
Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from my bellybutton lint
When I'm sick of takin' abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedom's just seven digits away. Hey...
(Chorus)
I'm callin' in sick today
Callin' in sick today
Ain't going to work, no way
Callin' in sick today
