Drinking Song: Another Phony Sick Day

https://youtu.be/IN08Ldvai64


This drinking song is dedicated to all those folks who constantly call out sick at the drop of a hat and make the rest of us good, hard-working, salt of the earth folks pick up their damn slack. Words and Music by Glenn Page.

Intro:
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

Verse 1:
He looked fine when we last saw him
In the bar 'round 3am
And the last time that he called out
He came back with a tan

But he left the boss a voicemail
And he used his "I'm sick" cough
He said he fell and stubbed a toenail
And he needs the whole week off

Chorus:
He took another phony sick day
When he ain't really sick
Another phony sick day
Man that guy won't quit
Pacino and DeNiro
Borrowed all his acting tricks
Another phony sick day
And I'm so sick of it

Verse 2:
He somehow picked up parvo
Though I'm sure he's not a pup
Food poisoning at S'barro
"Dude, I can't stop throwing up!"

Last week was the vapours
Next week he'll get gout
Or get nicked with his new razor
And damn-near bleed right out

Chorus:
He took another phony sick day
When he ain't really sick
Another phony sick day
Man that guy won't quit
Pacino and DeNiro
Called and asked him for some tips
Another phony sick day
And I'm so sick of it

Bridge:
How could he still be walking
With health that's so debased?
He'd be inside a coffin
They'd shoot off into space
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

Verse 3:
Now he's back here at the office
And this time it's for real
He's sneezing and he's coughing
And hacking with great zeal

My temperature is rising
He shoulda stayed at home
Used up all his sick time
Now we've gotta use our own!
BECAUSE

Chorus:
He took another phony sick day
When he ain't really sick
Another phony sick day
Man that guy won't quit
Pacino and DeNiro
Ain't got nuthin' on this twit
Another phony sick day
And I'm so sick of it
He took another phony sick day
And we're so sick of it
