Lyrics
Non Realistic Wiggly Humans: Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Allergies!
Greg or Lachy: Sometimes you may think that you've got the common cold.
Your throat is really itchy and you've got a runny nose.
Your skin you need to scratch and your eyes may start to swell.
Murray or Anthony: It's an allergic reaction, which is why you feel unwell.
Simon Pryce playing Gino or himself: It's an allergic reaction, which is why you feel unwell. Uh-huh-huh.
Non Realistic Wiggly Humans: Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Allergies!
Greg or Lachy : You might be playing with a pet and you start to sneeze and cough.
Try not to rub your eyes 'cause that can hurt a lot.
Not everyone's the same and there's no one you should blame.
Lead Guitarist: Yes, everybody's different but allergy's its name.
Anyone Simon Pryce Plays: Yes, everybody's different but allergy's its name. Huh-huh-huh.
Non Realistic Wiggly Humans: Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Allergies!
Greg or Lachy: They can make you have a cough, a-choo and wheeze.
It can be from the wind or the pollen in the trees.
When you feel a little (sniff) and a (gasp) when you breathe
Lead Guitarist: You quickly tell a grown-up 'cause it may be an allergy.
Greg or Lachy: You can have a reaction to foods that you eat.
It can be really serious with shellfish, nuts and seeds.
If you offer someone food, first check what they can eat.
Lead Guitarist: You must be very careful 'cause they may have allergies.
Anyone Simon Pryce Plays: You must be very careful 'cause they may have allergies. Uh-huh-huh.
Non Realistic Wiggly Humans: Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Allergies!
Some people may have eggs.
Some people may have dairy.
But other people if they have them.
Lead Guitarist: It can be a little scary.
All: Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Ooey, Allergies!(6x)
Trivia
- The white background music video was filmed after the music clip from "Surfer Jeff" because of the shirt designs.
- There's an original version called Awareness, Avoidance, Action.
- This is the only song to show and last song to feature the red Maton electric guitar.
- The 2013 version (like many other songs re-recorded that year) omitted the brass section.
- This song inspires by Anthony's son Antonio Field who have a peanut allergy.
- In 2013, one music video was filmed during the Taking Off Tour while another was filmed during the Ready Steady Wiggle TV Series. That's why the TV series version is more popular than the Taking Off tour one as from 2014.
- the lyrics that we're used for the prototype had to be changed & rewritten by John Field. some lyrics that we're written by Simon Pryce we're reused.
