Ragweed, O Ragweed
based on a true story

Ragweed, O Ragweed, just look what you've done!
You blew into my life and made it hell.
I now have allergies, when once there were none!
Ragweed, O Ragweed, just look what you've done!
My eyes are itchy, my nose, it doth run -
none of the drugs clear it up very well.
Ragweed, O Ragweed, just look what you've done!
You blew into my life and made it hell.
