Stayin Alive

(From the movie, Stayin' Alive) Whether you're on the left or whether on the right You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Feel the world breakin; and everybody shakin' But we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive With the vaccine Some say "no." That's not the way to go They won't listen to Biden, President Joe Science rules over fools. Get the vaccine for a better chance of being covid clean You know it's all right, it's okay You'll live to see another day Won't you try to understand You hold life in your own hand Don't let politics define right from wrong Stayin' alive is a fitting song Roll up your sleeve and take the shot Best chance of stayin' alive you've got Oh, woe, woe, woe, do you wanna die Oh, woe, woe, woe, to Trump's big lie It helps more people than it hurts Little needles and liquid squirts Save your life and help others Family, friends, brothers and mothers Well, you can tell by the way I use my talk I don't understand why people balk The message is crystal clear but the truth is something you refuse to hear It's not all right, it's not okay For you to look the other way Why can't you understand You hold life in your own hand Most of those dying have refused the dose That's the truth. I'm not being morose My life is worth living. I got help, yeah I'm stayin' alive October 3, 2021 Change the Record Contest Sponsored by Natasha L Scragg

Thank you, Arthur. I appreciate your kind comments. Needles and pens should always hold ink that flows for a good cause.

I didn't know if I'd enter this in the contest, but when I read someone's moronic words on not taking the vaccine, I knew this song would be the perfect vessel to overturn those words and promote the need for protective vaccinations. Thanks, Mark.

Love this Jenna! Already it looks to be a strong contender. The stayin' alive tune is quite a catchy one. Very good. :-)

Jenna, this is a marvelous parody! This should be a P.O.T.D., if you ask me. I thoroughly enjoyed it; even found myself tapping my foot and singing your lyrics! I've had my two Moderna shots and waiting on when I can take my booster. Thanks, too, for helping to get the word out.

Tap your foot all you want, Milt. Thanks for your encouraging thoughts. I’m ready for a booster, too

Oh, woe, woe, woe, do you want to die, this line jumps off the page Jenna, but it's so true about the nature of the beast, even if we don't care about our own life, we should at least be thinking of protecting our family and society in general, I want to listen to the whole album now, so you best get writing, cheers David

Thanks so much for the great comments, David. This song was an exact fit for my message.

Great advice to those who are head strong and refuse the pandemic dose. I suppose I will soon need a booster.

I thought it was the perfect song to express my support of the importance of taking the vaccine. Thanks, Jan, and I know you've had your inoculations.

Jenna, wow, your song is great and so well done and I totally agree with your message. I have had my 2 doses, no reaction, perfectly fine. Best of luck in the contest ~ love and serenity _Constance

I'm so glad mum had both her jabs as she only had covid mildly, could have been a totally different outcome without the vaccine and thankfully the anti vaxxers aren't so vocal on our little Island:-) hugs jan xx
