“Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” Coronavirus Version

“Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” Coronavirus version

Forgot to put on my mask
I couldn’t get through the door
Gave me hassle about it
Don’t get around much anymore

Thought I’d buy some Lysol
They ran out at the store
Can’t disinfect without it
Don’t get around much anymore

Darling I guess...my mind’s ill at ease
But it’s all for the best...don’t wanna catch the corona disease

Been locked up in my house...masked and gloved up for sure
This couch potato has sprouted
Don’t get around much anymore

Darling I guess...this lockdown’s a breeze
But I still feel stress when I hear somebody sneeze

All year long I’ve been stuck like a rug on the floor
There’s no reason to doubt it
Don’t get around much anymore
Why should I worry about it
Don’t get around much anymore
