Ring a Ring o’ Roses. I was chatting about this old nursery rhyme yesterday and how it should be re-written for covid so I had a little play this morning. It’s got alot of Australian/Victorian references as that’s where I am.
Ring a Ring o’ Steel
A cupboard full of loo roll
A-tishoo (into your elbow, thanks!), a tissue?
We all lockdown
You know the singles are in trouble
When all they can do is bubble
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
How long do we have to wait?
In the meantime, let’s all just put on weight!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
Poor old Eliza
All she wants is Pfizer
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
The people want to groom
But instead, all they can do is zoom!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
Sorry, I couldn’t unmute
All good, found it, you beaut!!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
Those that have had the jab
Facebook thinks you’re fab!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine!!
We’re all part of the ‘machine’!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
And guess what, if you don’t get vaccinated
You’re gonna be hated!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
Or is it better to double
Than wear a fancy muzzle?
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
The kids have to learn from home
While the parents pin their hopes on Jeroen
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
What’s a QR code I hear you say
It’s what you have to do every day!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
Have you checked in?
I only came in for some Chicken!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
It’s now illegal to protest
Who’d have thought we’d turn commune(i)st
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
Antivax?
Check your facts.
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
Pro Choice?
Not any more Joyce
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
Remember to sanitise
It’s not like the media to over dramatise
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan
You’re gonna need a passport
If you wanna play your sport
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
We’ve all turned into alcoholics
And maybe also take some narcotics
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all love Dan (Murphys)
I thought Corona was a beer
But now it drives our fear!
A-tishoo, a tissue?
We all lockdown
And finally, Covid is here to stay
So let’s open up, no delay.
And let the kids play!
