Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
Borrelia deep inside my mind
Hey Jeremy, hey Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
And I’m not one of a kind
Hey Jeremy, hey Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
And I’m really in a bind
Hey Jeremy, hey Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
No I’m not out of my mind
Hey Jeremy

Hey, Jeremy

I’m suffering from a plight
So listen to my song
You think you've got it right
But I KNOW you've got it wrong
So stop and listen tight
Coz I really need your help, Jeremy

Aussie ticks have Lyme
Though I know you think they don’t
We want the government to help
But so far, they won’t
Lymies and their families feel so alone, Jeremy

Oh,  Jeremy, what a pity
Our government won’t understand
By denying my diagnosis
My life is in their hands

Oh, Jeremy, you can help us
Can't you understand
We need action from you, Jeremy
It’s time to ‘DO’, Jeremy, ‘DO’, Jeremy
Not just plain talk Jeremy

Hey, Jeremy
It’s time to take the lead
Coz something must be done
Patients are in despair;
Lyme’s a loaded gun
You can change our lives
So don't say no, Jeremy

Our doctors need educating
In every Lyme aspect
Testing and treatment
Coz we deserve some respect
We’re sick of being turned away with rolling eyes, Jeremy

Oh, Jeremy, what a pity
Our government won’t understand
By denying my diagnosis
My life is in their hands

Oh, Jeremy, don’t you know
We’re way behind other lands
We’ll never catch up, Jeremy
If you don’t  ‘DO’, Jeremy, ‘DO’, Jeremy
Move on from talk Jeremy

Chorus
Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
Borellia deep inside my mind
Hey Jeremy, hey Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
And I’m not one of a kind
Hey Jeremy, hey Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
And I’m really in a bind
Hey Jeremy, hey Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I’ve got Lyme
No I’m not out of my mind
Hey Jeremy

Oh, Jeremy, what a pity
Our government won’t understand
By denying my diagnosis
My life is in their hands

Oh Jeremy, time to
Get your head out of the sand
It’s time to be true, Jeremy
Lyme is taboo Jeremy, taboo, Jeremy
Time to break through, Jeremy

Oh, Jeremy, what a pity
Our government won’t understand
By denying my diagnosis
My life is in your their hands

Oh, Jeremy, use your power
It’s time to take a stand
Your staff follow you, Jeremy
It’s up to you, Jeremy, you Jeremy
Lymies are dying, Jeremy

Oh, Jeremy, what a pity
Our government won’t understand
By denying my diagnosis
My life is in their hands

Oh Jeremy, you know it’s true
We’ve told you about it first hand
Now’s over to you, Jeremy
See it through Jeremy, through, Jeremy
Don’t leave us suffering, Jeremy
