I just got "Snacktime", an kid's album by Barenaked Ladies. Reminds me of "No!", the kid's album by They Might Be Giants. Both are fun albums, not your typical child's fare at all.

Anyway, the last week or two I've been suffering from some severe allergies (and/or a cold), so in honor of my affliction I'm posting the lyrics to the song, "Allergies", from Snacktime.

Allergies, allergies, allergies, allergies

Allergic to cats
Allergic to bees
Allergic to dust
Allergic to trees
Allergic to mold
Allergic to weeds

My little brother is allergic to meat
My friend’s brother is allergic to wheat
Allergic to Meat?
Allergic to Wheat?
Gotta be tricky finding something to eat

Allergies, allergies, allergies, allergies

Allergic to dogs
Allergic to frogs
Allergic to nuts—I hate their guts
Allergic to smoke—it makes me choke
Allergic to shrimp—I’ll blow up like a blimp

I get all itchy and I start to wheeze
Even when I see a slice of cheese
A slice of cheese?
It makes me wheeze
Hang on fellas, I’m about to sneeze

Ahhhh-chooo

Allergies, allergies, allergies, allergies

Allergic to dogs
Allergic to frogs
Allergic to eggs
Allergic to legs
Allergic to heads
Allergic to beds
Allergic to bark—it makes me snark
Allergic to face
Allergic to bass
Allergic to guitars
Allergic to the stars
Allergic to you
Allergic to me
Allergic to birds
Allergic to bees

Aiii!
