Covid-19 to the tune of Come on Eileen

Saw on Facebook someone posting that it fits the tune. I'm off work sick (not with coronavirus!) and bored, so have expanded on the concept - tweaks and alternatives very welcome:

Covi-id-19

Covi-id-19

The virus is here
Sounding worse upon the radio
Than a million folks with mono
(Everyone cried)
(Panicking, who'd blame them?)

It's spread (pandemic?)
So spread (pandemic!)
Now I must say more than ever
Covid-19!

Stock-pile loo roll stock-pile loo roll ayyyyy
And we can isolate ourselves inside!

Covid-19, we've been panic buying,
Pasta, hand gel - we've bought everything!
Poor NHS, it is in such a mess-
Best get ready
For Covid-19!

Covid-19

These people 'round here
They're sure they'll catch it, masks in place
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no, never), no, not us (no, never)
We are far too clean and clever

Remember:
Stock-pile loo roll stock-pile loo roll ayyyy

(And you'll hum this tune forever!)

Covid-19, we've been panic buying:
'Ah come on let's, buy up everything!'
The stretched NHS, is still doing its best
To persuade us, to keep our hands clean.
Hot water is best, and soap (well unless
You just want to, catch Covid-19).

please

Covid-19, (got loo roll - eh?)
Covid-19, (got loo roll - yay!)
Now you have spread
Don't make us dead
Cooo-vid 19.

Said, Covid-19
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here have changed

They've all stock-piled loo roll stock-piled loo role ayyyy

Covid-19
Oh, I swear (what I mean)
At this moment, soap is everything
An invisible mess, on my hands I confess
Makes them dirty
So I'll wash them clean!

Oh, Covid-19
Let's stop panic buying
At this moment, soap is everything
Please let me stress, if your hygiene's a mess
If you're dirty...
Covid-19!

I've now apparently ruined the song for DS. As it came on his playlist in the car, I pointed out the possibilities and he made up words all the way through, then told me I was a rotter for ruining it, he will never be able to sing it normally again Grin

Jollitwiglet · 10/03/2020 23:47

That's going to be stuck in my head now Grin
