about

A retro, fun little ditty, for when you’d rather be on a tropical island than dealing with a sick partner. Man Flu tackles the serious issue of men, their flu and the women who, try as they might, can’t quite be as sympathetic as they know they should be.

lyrics

MAN FLU

You’re playing football and you break both your arms
But it is not as bad as man flu
You lose your dog and bury your dad, but you are not as sad
As man flu
You handle corporate mergers while doing renovations
Balance out the chequebook while you count the day’s takings
Then you go down
Your fever is growing now, I will have to take over
Cause you’ll lose it somehow

You’ve got man flu, you just can’t handle it
Man flu, sniffles are getting you
Man flu, covid has nothing on you

I got my period and I’m getting a migraine
How bad can it be? Manflu
I’m making kids lunches and I’m checking for nits
And you’re not helping me – You got Man Flu
I know you bought me breakfast that time
On my birthday
I know you said the right things the last time
I had my worst day
But I don’t care
I know, I should be more loving
When you’re whimpering for tissues
I can’t help just wanting to shove them up your

Man flu, it’s not really killing you,
Man flu, can’t you just handle it,
Man Flu, I can’t be loving right now

You’re lying in bed and you’re moaning and groaning
It’s getting worse – man flu
You act like no one else has ever been sick before
And that you got it first – man flu
Your cough is getting louder,
And even though I have got cancer
I’m sure your pain is worse than mine,
Your mum would have the answer
Run to her now
My lips are much tighter now and though I feel like a bitch
I just can’t love you right now with your

Man flu, it’s not really killing you, Man flu
Can’t you just handle it,
Man Flu, I can’t be loving right now
Man flu
I can’t be loving right now
Man flu
Can’t you just handle it
Man flu
I can’t be loving right now
Man flu

Hi, I’m Megan Albany and I am so proud of The Very Last List of Vivian Walker and am very excited to invite you into Viv’s world. She’s a fantastic character but sometimes even the best words are not enough. I am not sure if the book inspired the music or the music inspired the book. Either way, the soundtrack will deepen your dive into the beautifully dysfunctional life of Vivian Walker. ... more
