"In this age of indigestion
It is oftentimes a question
As to what to eat and what to leave alone;
For each microbe and Bacillus
Has a different way to kill us,
And in time they always claim us for
their own.
There are germs of every kind
In any food that you can find
In the market or upon the bill of fare.
Drinking water's just as risky
As the so-called deadly whiskey,
And it's often a mistake to breathe the
air.
Some little bug is going to find you someday,
Some little bug will creep behind you someday,
Then he'll send for his bug friends
And all your earthly trouble ends;
Some little bug is going to find you some day..."

Thanks for your responses.

The verses I posted may have been Eubie Blake's and not Nash's, I'm unsure because of something I found on the net.
