LYME BUG by Danielle & Corinne 

written based on lyrics/music to
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham.
 
​
​You-Tube link to song opposite.

You put the tachycardia into my heart
You send my body in pain when neuropathy starts
Lyme bugs into my brain
My head it bang bang bangs and my feet feel in pain
Lyme is bugging you
Something aint right
My doctor told me that
I herxed last night
I’m never sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming I was normal but I really have Lyme instead

Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Insomnia sends me really yo yo
Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Night seizures made me cry

Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Stabbing pains are in my toe toe
Don’t wake me up, oh no no
I want an Epsom salt tonight
This sucks, I have Lyyyyyyyme (yeah, yeah)

You take my home, job and friends away
You make my skin rash brighter than a sunny day
Turned my body into a pain
My head hurts every minute, I feel insane

'Cause you're my bug, it’s not cool
It makes me crazy, my doctors are so cruel
Come on, lyme, I’m going to fight
We'll go with Burrascano, then everything will be all right

Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Insomnia sends me really yo yo
Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Nausea made me cry

Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Stabbing pains are in my toe toe
Don’t wake me up, oh no no 
I want to go dancing tonight
But I have Lyyyyyyyme (yeah, yeah)

(Lyme bug)
(Lyme bug)

I am herxing, my limbs are tight
Colonics and sauna tomorrow night
It's cold everywhere, even in my bed
Everyone else can live,
Lymies all stay home instead

(Lymebug)

Don’t wake me up, oh no no
I’ve got pains from head to toe toe
Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Fibromyalgia makes me cry

Don’t wake me up, oh no no
Because there’s nowhere I can go go
Don’t Wake me up, oh no no
I feel so sick tonight

Don’t Wake me up oh no no,
don't you dare to not leave me sleeping  oh no no
Don’t take me dancing

(Boom-boom-boom)
