News is abhorring
And so boring
Starting from the break of dawn
I think we need
To be indeed
Vaccinated for the yawn
They always try
The same tired lie
Their old shtick goes on and on
I’ll catch my death
With lack of breath
If they don’t vaccinate the yawn
They put on acts
With rusty facts
Their dog dug up from the lawn
And then they’ll drone
Over that bone
Hurry and vaccinate the yawn
Obey we should
For public good
And if not they’ll use their brawn
That same lousy
Makes me drowsy
Excuse me while I yawn
Here’s protection
From infection
Sorry but we’ve seen that con
So please instead
Cure sleepyhead
And vaccinate the yawn
We’ve had enough
Of their old stuff
We’re pooped out being their pawn
Since they’re creepy
We’ll stay sleepy
Until they vaccinate the yawn
Will this pandemic ever be over and everything get back to normal
When high school kids can have a dance and the girls wear a formal
Will our small children grow up thinking a mask is a necessary thing
As common as a tissue, a cotton ball, or an ordinary length of string
Will we ever again not have strangers look at us like we are infected
Will we ever be able to travel without being so irritatingly inspected
Will it be possible to eat in a restaurant and not feel we are isolated
It could happen someday very soon if everyone would get vaccinated!

Covid 19 on the run now.
We're gonna have tons of fun now.
So long we've had to cope.
Now,finally there's hope.
So, let's not act like dopes.
VACCINATE!
The progress that has been happening.
It is because of the vaccine.
The vaccine is the way.
To see a brighter day.
Don't let it slip away.
VACCINATE!
Diphtheria-Smallpox-Measles-Pertussis.
Vaccines made them hardly exist.
Polio-Mumps-Rubella-Tetanus.
Let's put Covid on that list.
So,people let's be wise.
Yes,vaccines do save lives.
Do not believe the lies.
Please don't wait.
Don't hesitate.
VACCINATE!!
Vaccinate me now for fear of a third wave
Vaccinate me now because I’m not brave
Vaccinate me now before politics and rage
Vaccinate me now there is a war to wage
Vaccinate me now so I can smile and be free
Vaccinate me now I need retail therapy
Vaccinate me now so that I can be safe
Vaccinate me now before the lovely waif
Vaccinate me now my latte and scone await
Vaccinate me now I’ll this leap of faith
Vaccinate me now let’s go back normal
But the trouble with normal...
Gotta vaccinate
vaccinate
Just can't wait
to vaccinate
Got me a date
to vaccinate
vaccinate
Won't be late
to vaccinate
I'll be on time
and get in line
Immunity
and Freedom
will be mine
Gotta vaccinate
vaccinate
Just can't wait
to vaccinate
No more mask
Don't even ask
No social distancing
No virtue signaling
So, I got me my shot
and wanna know what
It feels real great
to vaccinate
vaccinate
vaccinate...
Somebody please vaccinate my mind
I don't trust my senses and I'm going blind
I'm being passed up, getting left behind
Somebody out there, vaccinate my mind
Somebody please vaccinate my brain
I'm always been lazy, I've missed every train
Well who can keep up with each new viral strain?
Goddamn it, somebody vaccinate my brain
We all need some protection
Yeah we need to feel secure
But to offset the infection,
I'd welcome any cure
Somebody please vaccinate my soul
Don't care about no cicatrix hole
I know my rights but I question my role
Maybe somebody vaccinate my soul
Somebody please vaccinate my mind
Deep in my memory don't know what I'll find
Someday I'll wake up, feeling refined
Somebody out there, vaccinate my mind
Somebody please vaccinate my mind
Deep in my memory don't know what I'll find
Maybe a diamond fresh from some mine
Somebody out there, vaccinate my mind
When I lived on the farm in West Texas
Dad had a bunch of young pigs
One day he said “Come on boys, we got a job,
Let’s go down to the pig digs”
He said, we’ve got vaccinate them all
And we all must do our bit
You boys catch a pig and bring him to me
Into that pen and hold it
Then your mom will pull the his hind legs apart
I’ll shoot the medicine in
Then you boys have another pig ready
So we can do it again
Big “J” and I thought, Boy! This will be fun
Catching those pigs for our Dad
But there were about fifty pigs in all
And after ten, I’d been “had”
It was the hardest work I’d ever done
Catching a pig’s hard enough
But those devils fight you all of the time
Didn’t know they were so tough
It was dark by the time the job was done
The next day I couldn’t move
It was all in vain, that work was for naught
As all the pigs we did lose
