COUGH IT UP

 

Based on “Start Me Up” written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards


When you cough it up
You want to get it up to the top
When you cough it up
You want to get more than just a drop
If you cough a lot
You’ve got to give it the best you’ve got
If you cough it up
You want that mucous to never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop

We’ll make that sputum fly
We’ll make that sputum fly
We’ll make that sputum fly
We will teach you
The right technique
For expectoration to peak so chic
Cough it up

When you cough it up
You can’t try to do it in one big shot, big shot, big shot
You must proceed
With a series of small coughs to succeed
So it won’t disrupt
Normal breathing when you bring it up, bring it up
Bring it up, bring it up

You’ll make that sputum fly
You’ll make that sputum fly
You’ll make that sputum fly

And stop to rest
Some in between
So you don’t tire out from your lung hygiene
Cough it up

When you cough it up
Give it all you got
And you should always give it some forethought
Bring it up in little chunks
Cough it up

So make that sputum fly
So make that sputum fly
So make that sputum fly
Maintain your wind at all times please
With practice you’ll be bringing it all up with ease
Cough it up

Every day you should bring it all up, it all up, it all up
Cough it up, cough it up, cough it up, cough it up

You, you, can make that sputum fly
You can bring that sputum up
You can bring that sputum up
