[Spoken]
Do you feel that? Oh, shit.

Wah-ah-ah-ah
Wah-ah-ah-ah

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother, get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me

I can see inside you the sickness is rising
It seems that all that was good has died
Oh no, the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me, in me

Wah-ah-ah...
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother, get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me

Why can't you just buck up and die?
Get down with the sickness
Fuck you, I don't need this shit
Get down with the sickness
You stupid, sadistic, abusive fucking whore
Get down with the sickness
Here it comes
Get ready to die

Get ready to...die

    General Comment:This might be the only song I'd ever sing for Karaoke. You could get the entire room laughing hysterically.

    General Comment:Richard Cheese takes music to the next level. His satire and parodies of music is really quite hilarious and quite unique. I prefer Richard over Weird Al just because he takes the song and creates an entire new genre to it and pokes fun at the reality of the original song.

    General Comment:First of all: Hilarious song.

    Ok now, there are some mistakes in those lyrics. I think he only says "In me" once. Also, where it says:

    "Why can't you just buck up and die?"

    It should be:

    "Why can't you just fuck off and die?"

    One more thing. Where it says:

    "Fuck you, I don't need this shit
    Get down with the sickness"

    It should be:

    "Fuck you, I don't need this shit
    I'm down with the sickness"

    General Comment:The song is funny because it is just so obscure with Cheese singing this.

    General Comment:puppet_master_72, it's awesome if you forget about how the original sounds and just focus on what Richard's singing. I mean, imagine your mom singing along to this!

    MOM: "You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness..."

    It makes me laugh every time...
