Verse 1
Alarm at six, I let it ring
You rolled over and that settled everything
Practiced a cough, perfected the wheeze
One-take wonder — an absolute breeze
Pre-Chorus
Coffee goin' cold, phone lit up like a tree
Whole office wonderin' what's become of me
You over the paycheck, you over the call
You over every reason to show up at all
Chorus
I'm callin' in sick — got it bad, got it strong
Been runnin' this fever all weekend long
Told the boss it's that bug goin' 'round
(Somethin's goin' 'round, all right) — and it ain't slowin' down
Symptoms include your smile, your kiss
Ain't a shot in the world gonna fix me of this
Keep your chicken soup, knock on wood
I'm callin' in sick — and I never felt so good
Verse 2
I gave the boss my Sunday-best croak
Coughed one time and the poor man broke
"Push them fluids, boy, get plenty of rest"
Cooler's full of fluids — doin' my best
Pre-Chorus
Coffee goin' cold, phone lit up like a tree
Whole office wonderin' what's become of me
You over the paycheck, you over the call
You over every reason to show up at all
Chorus
I'm callin' in sick — got it bad, got it strong
Been runnin' this fever all weekend long
Told the boss it's that bug goin' 'round
(Somethin's goin' 'round, all right) — and it ain't slowin' down
Symptoms include your smile, your kiss
Ain't a shot in the world gonna fix me of this
Keep your chicken soup, knock on wood
I'm callin' in sick — and I never felt so good
Bridge
If anybody asks, it's highly contagious
Could be a week — man, it's outrageous
Write my doctor's note, sign it in red
"Patient's condition: better off in bed"
Prognosis? Well, it don't look fine —
I might not recover till Tuesday at nine
Final Chorus
I'm callin' in sick (callin' in sick!) — got it bad, got it strong
Been runnin' this fever all weekend long (all weekend long!)
Told the boss it's that bug goin' 'round
(Somethin's goin' 'round, all right) — and it ain't slowin' down
Symptoms include your smile, your kiss
Ain't a shot in the world gonna fix me of this
Keep your chicken soup, knock on wood
I'm callin' in sick — and I never felt so good
Outro
Callin' in sick (so sick)
Callin' in sick (so sick)
Worst case of lovesick this town ever saw
Callin' in sick...
Yeah, I called it in for you

Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
