I'm all blessed up
With nowhere to go
And nothing I really can do
Yet blessings, of course
Come out in full force
With every recurring achoo!
As strangers and friends
Fall over their ends
To give me their sweet benediction
While I just sneeze over
And over and over
And over like it's an addiction
CHORUS
But this little reflex ain't something I choose
I choose
I choose
With nothing but bloodshot-red eyeballs to lose
I choose
I choose
It's all so distressing
With all of these blessings
You'd think I'd be churning out miracles
Or healing the Lepers
Instead it's like pepper's
Encrusting the ends of my spiracles
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I tell myself that I'm OK
As colleagues chime 'A tes souhaits!'
I swear it's going to be all right
With every heartfelt 'Gesundheit!'
But I know how this story goes
As sure as tides will ebb and flow
The winds of change will never blow
I'm all blessed up...
.. with nowhere to go
There's no real cause
To bless and rejoice
The moment that I sternutated
Just one blessed nuisance
As all my phlegm loosens
And I sit in-capacitated
CHORUS X 2
