Oh Coronavirus - Single

lyrics

Well, they don’t have arms and they don’t have feet
they don’t like moisture and they don’t like heat
it’s not true they want to kill us
they much prefer us alive
it’s when they tangle with white blood cells
we get sick and we die

Oh, coronavirus
don’t catch a ride with me
I’m gonna hide in my apartment
while you’re out there on the street
oh, coronavirus
don’t you catch a ride with me
I’m gonna hide in my apartment
while you’re out there on the street

In a couple years, the vaccines and immunity will spread
for now it’s now soap and water, keep your paws off of your head
as for their spiky proteins, all the scientists, they say
with RNA mutations, we’ll be safe again some day

Oh, coronavirus
don’t you catch a ride with me
I’m gonna hide in my apartment
while you’re out there on the street
oh, coronavirus
don’t you catch a ride with me
no, I’m gonna hide in my apartment
while you’re out there on the street
out there on the street
