# Verse: (vary E7 E7 with E7 – E – E7 in first line)
D Bm7 | A A | G A E7 E7
D Bm | E E | C C D D

In the jungle of Papua New Guinea there was
A woman searching pigeons thought to be extinct
With a local guide she wandered there for days
Just saw tree kangaroos and cassowary’s with their hats

At one night she slept in a hammock in the trees
she jumped out and she screamed, and her guide quickly came to help
Sure appendicitis is rarely nicely timed,
But to remove it yourself lit by the campfire is mad

# intermezzo:
Em Bm | F#m G
Em Bm | F#m G | G ~ (5th measure, anacrusis towards chorus)

# Chorus: 
D | A | G | E
G | E | G | A

Ohh it was bad - soo bad! This pain should not be in the game.
But she did make it through, grateful that she didn’t have the man flu.
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, is awful like the man flu.

# Verse: (vary E7 E7 with E7 – E – E7 in first line)
D Bm7 | A A | G A E7 E7
D Bm | E E | C C D D

It took them six long years to get pregnant as they wished
With some medical help their dream would finally come true
How much they loved their tiny household to expand
But would five kids at once also be fivefold times the fun?

Giving birth felt like a marathon through hell
Five healthy screaming babies like a jazz chord plus one off
She lacked some nipples evolution couldn't foresee
just like she'll never know about the man flu flavoured hell

# intermezzo:
Em Bm | F#m G (repeat until Joris finishes his solo?)
Em Bm | F#m G | G ~ (5th measure, anacrusis towards chorus)

# Chorus: 
D | A | G | E
G | E | G | A

Ohh it was bad - soo bad! This pain should not be in the game.
But she did make it through, grateful that she didn’t have the man flu.
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, is awful like the man flu.

# Verse: (vary E7 E7 with E7 – E – E7 in first line)
D Bm7 | A A | G A E7 E7
D Bm | E E | C C D D

It was the first time that she visited the place
so very different from the city she grew up
in the jungle of papua new guinea she met
tree kangaroos and cassowary’s with their hats

And although awesome, they weren’t what she was looking for
see had a goal on her list, it was a pigeon thought extinct
With a local guide, she wandered there for days
The bird didn’t show, and it got so much worse from there

At one night she slept in a hammock in the trees
she jumped out and she screamed, and her guide quickly came to help
Sure appendicitis is rarely nicely timed
To remove it yourself lit by the campfire is mad

# intermezzo:
Em Bm | F#m G
Em Bm | F#m G | G ~ (5th measure, anacrusis towards chorus)

# Chorus: 
D | A | G | E
G | E | G | A

Ohh it was bad - soo bad! This pain should not be in the game.
But she did make it through, grateful that she didn’t have the man flu.
Nothing, nothing, nothing

D Bm | E E | C C D D

We cant recall what it was once like being born
And only hallf of us may know what it's like - to give birth
But as every person is different in their ways
Deliveries come in all the mad flavours of hell

It took them seven years to get pregnant as they wished
with some medical help their dream would finally come true
How much they loved their tiny household to increase
Will five kids at once also be fivefold times the fun?

Then all her flavours of hell burst five times in a row
All heallthy screaming babies like a jazz chord plus one off
She lacked some nipples evolution couldnt foresee
just like she'll never know about the man flu flavoured hell


# intermezzo:
Em Bm | F#m G (repeat until Joris finishes his solo?)

Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, is awful like the man flu.
