Covid-19 Blues

It makes me so sad
To see people afraid
But the governor called a lockdown
And it must be obeyed

I've got the COVID-19, the pandemic Coronavirus blues
And I'm getting more depressed whenever I turn on the news.

The stores ran out of sanitizer
And I felt like I was throttled
When the cheapest price online
Was $20 a bottle
So I went down to the pub
To get some space to think
But all the bars were closed
And I couldn't even get a drink!

I've got the COVID-19, the pandemic Coronavirus blues
And I get more depressed whenever I turn on the news.

It's been weeks since I've seen pals
And now I'm left in the lurch
I got dressed up Sunday morning
But I couldn't go to church
Everybody's staying home now
And there's not a car on the street
And I can't even talk to you
Unless I'm standing back six feet!

I've got the COVID-19, the pandemic Coronavirus blues
And I get more depressed whenever I turn on the news.
