I’ve got lyme disease and I’m gonna die
I’ve got lyme disease and I don’t know why
I’ve got lyme disease; I got bit by a tick
I’ve got lyme disease and now I’m really sick

This isn’t a song about my break-up
That isn’t what I’m doing
This isn’t a song about my birthday
or how, thanks to Lyme, it’s been ruined

I’ve got lyme disease and I’m gonna die
I’ve got lyme disease and I don’t know why
I’ve got lyme disease; I got bit by a tick
I’ve got lyme disease and now I’m really sick

They think that they caught my disease in time
They’re saying that they can cure me (uh-huh)
I’m sorry for being such a drag
but it’s my birthday, so please endure me saying:

I’ve got lyme disease and I’m gonna die
I’ve got lyme disease and I don’t know why
I’ve got lyme disease; I got bit by a tick
I’ve got lyme disease and now I’m really sick

The tension is building in my joints
Can somebody pass me a medicinal joint
The blood test came back to me positive
but the doctors are telling me I’m gonna live
but I know:

I’ve got lyme disease and I’m gonna die
I’ve got lyme disease and I don’t know why
I’ve got lyme disease; I got bit by a tick
I’ve got lyme disease and now I’m really sick

This isn’t a joke, so please stop laughing
I threw my up my pills this morning (uh-huh)
I swear I’m not kidding…why are you laughing?
Oh, and there’s just one more thing: sing with me, now…

I’ve got lyme disease and I’m gonna die
I’ve got lyme disease and I don’t know why
I’ve got lyme disease; I got bit by a tick
I’ve got lyme disease and now I’m really sick
