I'm gonna call in sick
See I just canʼt do it
I got the phone in my hand
I got a script, I wrote a plan
Ah yeah

See Iʼve been up all night
With one of the worst cases this town has ever seen
And if I come in Debbie
If I come in Debbie
Iʼm gonna take down the whole team
And then I'll have blood on my hands
The machine wonʼt operate at full speed
The itchy yarn of wool will unravel
And they wonʼt cope at the pharmacy
Weʼll be forced out on the streets Debbie
Me and the whole of level one finance
Weʼll plague everyday folk, mothers at school gates
In high heels and contamination pants ooh
But it wonʼt stop there Debbie no
That fever will spread high that fever will spread low
It could take down the better half of the city
And depending on which district your living in
i could take you all down with me
Iʼm gonna call in sick
Yʼknow it's for the greater good
'Cause Iʼm just thinking of you
and your childrenʼs childrenʼs future
It's the only decent thing to do
And one day should probably become two
And perhaps if I take a third we should play
it's safe and round it up to four
And who goes in on a Friday? (Who goes in on a Friday?)
(Who goes in on a Friday? Who goes in on a Friday?)
(Come on who goes in on a Friday?
Come on who goes in on a Friday?)
Out of interest, who's working Friday?
Is Andy in? Alright, I'm definitely dying then, because
I don't know what it it is about him
But that is some level next level shit
that I just can not deal with

Iʼm gonna call in sick
Iʼve been feeling kinda nauseous as it is
This job is not what I wanted at all
I mean any moment now my doctor heʼs probably gonna call
Ok alright it's no secret iʼve never been keen
But I could poison the whole canteen
I should, I should stay home for good measure
No no, I canʼt risk it Debbie no
Not it in this kinda weather
Let it rain, let it pour
Iʼm gonna call in sick
And iʼm gonna lie in the bed
that Iʼve made
It's been nothing but hassle getting here
I mean the light, it's beginning to fade
Donʼt you feel guilty though Debbie no?
You could do your fun runs in my name
Oh cruel world
Why me?
Why now?
