Jenna Logan Poet Lyric

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

Natasha L Scragg November 12, 2021 at 11:47 AM Jenna this is a brilliant song. Congrats on your win! Thank you for entering the contest. A truly enjoyable entry. I can imagine a group of friends doing Karaoke with your twist to this tune :-D Jenna Logan November 13, 2021 at 1:32 AM It was such a fun contest, and I thank you for placing my write on your winning list, Natasha.

Arthur Vaso October 5, 2021 at 12:06 AM Now that's poetry!!!!! Some mighty fine ink flowed out of that needle :) Jenna Logan October 5, 2021 at 6:02 AM Thank you, Arthur. I appreciate your kind comments. Needles and pens should always hold ink that flows for a good cause.

Mark Koplin October 4, 2021 at 7:32 AM Wow! That hits it right on the head. Well done with lyrics and nice smooth rhyme. Jenna Logan October 4, 2021 at 7:50 AM 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.

Natasha L Scragg October 3, 2021 at 12:09 PM Love this Jenna! Already it looks to be a strong contender. The stayin' alive tune is quite a catchy one. Very good. :-) Jenna Logan October 3, 2021 at 3:27 PM Thank you very much, Natasha.

L Milton Hankins October 3, 2021 at 9:18 AM 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. Jenna Logan October 3, 2021 at 3:25 PM Tap your foot all you want, Milt. Thanks for your encouraging thoughts. I’m ready for a booster, too

David Kavanagh October 3, 2021 at 8:56 AM 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 Jenna Logan October 3, 2021 at 3:21 PM Thanks so much for the great comments, David. This song was an exact fit for my message.

Victor Buhagiar October 3, 2021 at 8:21 AM Great advice to those who are head strong and refuse the pandemic dose. I suppose I will soon need a booster. Jenna Logan October 3, 2021 at 8:25 AM That's the intent, Victor. I'll be getting mine next week. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Jan Allison October 3, 2021 at 7:58 AM Perfect message and the words fit in so well with the tune and the title is so apt!:-) hugs jan xx Jan Allison October 3, 2021 at 8:20 AM yes an i will have the booster when i am eligible Jenna Logan October 3, 2021 at 8:00 AM 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.

Constance La France October 3, 2021 at 7:17 AM 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 Jan Allison October 3, 2021 at 7:59 AM 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 Jenna Logan October 3, 2021 at 7:56 AM I'm pleased that you agree. I've had both and am ready for the booster. Thank you for your support and well wishes.
