Contagious Disease Unit – Ward 20 Deck 2
Maybe my aptitude for throwing
up
My ENT infections, fevers
and chills
Hopeless motion sickness
and fainting fits
Were the reasons why NavPers
posted me there
All the diseases in the
Fleet called it home:
Infections, syphilis,
leprosy, the clap
(Let’s give him a hand),
and for reasons not clear
A couple of crewmen from
the Pueblo
Before I was sent to be
sick in Indo-China -
And now they say
there’s a virus going around
