Lyrics to Give It To Me
Written by The Freedom Toast
Speed up, inject me fast
I need an antibody blast, so
Come on, ram that needle home
Need a vaccine, so give it to me
(Ba da da DA da, give it to me)
Hey there Fauci, whatcha knowin‘?
How’s the vaccine program goin’?
Ain’t ya got no shot for me?
Do it ‘n’ do-do
Give it to me
(Ba da da DA da, give it to me)
Hey Joe Biden, tell the nation,
Screwed by Trump’s administration
Need to find some more vaccine
find it real quick and give it to me!
(Ba da da DA da, give it to me)
Got no fever, no cough, and no trouble with sleep
The test found no virus, Doc ain’t said a peep
So load that syringe up and plunge it in deep
Vaccination? Give it to me!
Ba da da da da da da etc
ABOUT THE SOURCE MATERIAL
59th Street Bridge Song
(Feelin' Groovy)
by Simon and Garfunkel
"The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" is a song by folk music duo Simon & Garfunkel, appearing on their 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. It was on the B-side of the 1967 single "At the Zoo", and was subsequently re-issued in 1971 as an A-side single.
"59th Street Bridge" is the colloquial name of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge in New York City. The song's message is immediately delivered in its opening verse: "Slow down, you move too fast".
The studio version features Dave Brubeck Quartet members Joe Morello (drums) and Eugene Wright (double bass).
Footage of Simon and Garfunkel performing the song at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival is featured in the film Monterey Pop.
On his farewell tour, Simon "penalized" himself for wrongly performing the lyrics to another song by singing this song, which he confesses to hating.
The theme song to the American children's TV show H.R. Pufnstuf, originally composed by Sid and Marty Krofft, was found to closely mimic "The 59th Street Bridge Song" after Simon sued; his writing credit was subsequently added to the H.R. Pufnstuf theme.
