~ singin’ the ‘rona blues ~
Feral cats are runnin’ wild
while cops is breakin’ ‘eads
homeless driven to the sewer grates
my poor garden gnome is dead
world’s crazy’d up for krypto
ever’body’s gettin’ ‘rona
uber’s bringin’ beer n’pizza
scammers findin’ ways t’phone ya
take yer boots off pretty baby
from now on we stayin’ home
take off your boots of leather
we’re stayin’ home alone
right-handed axes bust up d’capitol
almost scared t’leave my room
tik tok’n stead’a talkin’
go’ta’office on m’zoom
mustard head defies subpoenas
fake news wines there was no coup
vote suppression played like tid’ly winx
what’sa thinkin’ dude t’do
take yer boots off pretty baby
from now on we stayin’ home
take off your boots of leather
we’re stayin’ home alone
we now plug in ‘stead’a fill up
while I truly think it’s great
gotta’ tell‘ya sometimes
I do miss my old V-8
this world’s really changed
be that way until I die
though it’s hard to grasp it all
understand me please — I try
take yer boots off pretty baby
from now on we stayin’ home
take off your boots of leather
we’re stayin’ home alone
~ hmmm ~
oh hell! — put yer shiny leather boots back on
and put that mask on your beautiful face
I’m gonna go crank up the tesla
gonna take a short road trip from this place
n’ I’m gonna contact amazon prime
get a new gnome for the garden space
