You better watch out; you better not sneeze.
You better not cough, 'cause you'll spread a disease....
Viruses are comin' to town.
They have many shapes and sizes as well,
But they don't come alive 'til they enter a cell....
Viruses are comin' to town.
Their protein coat surrounds a core of R- or D-N-A.
They're so minute, there's not much more about them you can say.... Hey!
They're hard to avoid, though people have tried.
It's too late now; there's nowhere to hide....
Viruses are comin' to town.

I wrote this infectious little song for my ninth-grade biology class. The
assignment was to take a popular Christmas carol of our choice and replace
the existing lyrics with new ones about something we had studied in
class.
