Swift Vaccination:
(parody lyrics by Jack and Sophie Mangan, music by Taylor Swift and whoever else co-writes her songs)

I don't vaccinate, got fever in my brain
That's what people say, that's what people say
My flu shots are up to date, I keep the flu away
Despite what people say, despite what people say

But each flu season,
Get shots for a good reason
It's like I got this band-aid on my arm
Saying it's gonna be alright

Cause the doctors gonna save, save, save, save, save
And anti-vaxxers gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
And they’re gonna get the plague, plague, plague, plague, plague
Vaccinate, I vaccinate
Influenza's gonna break, break, break, break, break
Procrastinators gonna wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
But I won’t leave it up to fate, fate, fate, fate, fate
Vaccinate, I vaccinate

I never miss a shot, My upper arm’s the spot
And the mark you barely see, the mark that you don’t see
I always wash my hands, every chance I can,
But that won’t stop the flu alone, won’t stop the flu alone

And each flu season,
Get shots for a good reason
It's like I got this band-aid on my arm
Saying it's gonna be alright

Cause the doctors gonna save, save, save, save, save
And anti-vaxxers gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
And they’re gonna get the plague, plague, plague, plague, plague
Vaccinate, I vaccinate
Influenza's gonna break, break, break, break, break
Procrastinators gonna wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
And they’re gonna get the plague, plague, plague, plague, plague
Vaccinate, I vaccinate

Hey, hey, hey!
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the colds
And dirty, dirty germs of the world you could've been getting safe from this sick sneeze
My old man with his swollen glands,
He's like, “oh achoo”, so I'm gonna be safe
And to the fella over there with the crusty nose hair
Won't you stay over there, and inoculate.

Ooh, looks like you got the flu
Looks like you got the flu
Looks like you just got the flu
Looks like you just got the -
Ooh, looks like you got the flu
Looks like you got the flu
Looks like you just got the flu
Looks like you just got the flu
I trust nobody and nobody trusts me
‘Cause no one gets vaccinated
I trust nobody and nobody trusts me

‘Cause anyone could have influenza
Cause the doctors gonna save, save, save, save, save
And anti-vaxxers gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
And they’re gonna get the plague, plague, plague, plague, plague
Vaccinate, I vaccinate
Influenza's gonna break, break, break, break, break
Procrastinators gonna wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
And they’re gonna get the plague, plague, plague, plague, plague
I vaccinate, I vaccinate
