Some Say It Was Radiation, Some Say There Was Acid On The Microphone,

Some Say A Combination That Turned Their Hearts To Stone,

But Whatever It Was, It Drove Them To Their Knees.

Oh, Legionnaire's Disease.



I Wish I Had A Dollar For Everyone That Died Within That Year,

Got 'em Hot By The Collar, Plenty An Old Maid Shed A Tear,

Now Within My Heart, It Sure Put On A Squeeze.

Oh, That Legionnaire's Disease.



Granddad Fought In A Revolutionary War, Father In The War Of 1812,

Uncle Fought In Vietnam And Then He Fought A War All By Himself,

But Whatever It Was, It Came Out Of The Trees.

Oh, That Legionnaire's Disease.
