In the 14th century, Europe found a new enemy
A tiny foe that we all know, so small we cannot see
It was the tiny little germ, the most destructive term
For those it killed were soon to fill a giant graveyard farm
Chorus:
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's spreading far and wide
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's here for all to hide
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's killing everyone
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's the end, let's all run!
Verse 2:
From China it had spread, from man to rat to man
It crossed the world on trading ships, then found a perfect plan
To wipe out half of Europe's folk, and in Asia there were more
It wasn't long before the grim reaper was knocking at the door
Chorus:
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's spreading far and wide
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's here for all to hide
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's killing everyone
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's the end, let's all run!
Bridge:
Doctors tried and tried to cure, with leeches and with potions
They thought bad smells and evil stars were causing all the commotions
But none of their attempts to fix it made the slightest jot of difference
The only way to stop the plague was by keeping up your distance
Chorus:
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's spreading far and wide
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's here for all to hide
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's killing everyone
Oh, the plague! Oh, the plague! It's the end, let's all run!
