Covid-19
Inspired by the coronavirus and “Jolene” by Dolly Parton
Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid,
We’re beggin’ of you please don’t shut us down
Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid,
Please don’t shut us down b/c you can
Your sickness is beyond compare
With dying people everywhere
With breathing issues starting left and right
Your kiss is like the kiss of death
Our voice you take, we’re out of breath
And meds cannot compete with you Co-vid
We dream about you in our sleep
There’s nothing we can do to keep
From crying when you take our friends, Co-vid
And no one easily understands
How you can easily take our kin
Cause you don’t know what they mean to us, Co-vid
Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid,
We’re beggin’ of you please don’t shut us down
Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid,
Please don’t shut us down b/c you can
You could have your choice of place
You came and slapped us in the face
Home’s the only place for us, Co-vid
I had to write this song to you
Our very lives depend on you
And whatever you decide to do, Co-vid
Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid,
We’re beggin’ of you please don’t shut us down
Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid, Co-vid,
Please don’t shut down o-wer little town
Co-vid, Co-vid
