about

In these times of self-isolation for an indefinite number of days..remember to eat right, and stay scrubbed!

lyrics

My dear old mother she’s 75
She’s trying to stay alive the best she can
In her retirement community
There’s no immunity from whatever’s in the air
She got a neighbor with a respirator
Breathing like Darth Vader from the house next door
And across the parking lots
All the shopping marts are blowing up
Like the Deathstar

Say a prayer for the Vatican
No holy watering can save them now
Or make a wish upon a four leaf clover
Cuz the streets are sober and the whole world over

Confused and scared -how can this exist?
I’m not prepared - to survive on this

Coronavirus diet plan!
Nothin’ in my cupboard but Spic-n-Span
How am I supposed to feed my kin
If I can’t go out
Or it might get in

They shut down the strip in Vegas cuz the slots contagious
For the gamblin’ man
And all bets are off right now cuz we don’t know how
This wheel gonna turn
Stocking up on bare essentials causing great potential
For a Third World War
I went down to my liquor store
But the shelves were empty and what’s more
We got a message from the CDC
Saying you and me must stay indoors

Confused and scared - how can we exist?
Are we prepared - to survive on this…

Coronavirus Diet Plan!
Every other night I’m eating from a can
And every other hour I wash my hands
I don’t dare go out
Or it might get in

Coronavirus Diet Plan!
How’s about some help from the government?!
They’re calling for National Service and it’s
Making me nervous just imagining …

That there’s nobody left in the world
And the kids can’t go to school
And everyone everywhere in every city
Is playing by the rules

Of..the.. Coronavirus! Coronavirus!
Coronavirus diet plan!
This isolated living is more than I can stand!
How am I supposed to feed my kin
If we can’t go out
Or it might get in?

Coronavirus diet plan
Afraid to shake the hand of my fellow man
And every little sneeze gets under my skin
It’s a crippling disease and it’s got to end
But until then - we’re staying in
And I’m gettin’ thin - just existing on a

Coronavirus!
Coronavirus!
Coronavirus diet plan!
