Lyrics
We've got the blues now in Corona
Self-Quarantined in Queens
It's a borough of in New York City
City of many a swinging scene
But the Broadway scene is dead now
Killed by Covid 19.
It's a virus that came from China
Not from Corona Queens
But from a market in Wuhan
Where it seems to be routine
They eat dogs and cats and bats
And the price you pay is Covid 19
It spread world-wide to cities
And towns in between
You can't tell who's infected
So it's hard to contravene
And put an end to this killer pandemic
That we call Covid 19
The Liar is still bloviating
Fighting fire with gasoline
Our Lady of Sorrows is weeping
Tears fall from the figurine
And our every-day saints administer
The mercy of the Nazarene.
