(It's Gonna Be A) COVID Christmas

by Jim Testa

/

about

A satirical look at the corona virus Christmas of 2020.

lyrics

It’s gonna be a COVID Christmas
The North Pole’s all locked down
Eight socially distanced reindeer
Fly Santa from town to town
He’s gotta sanitize that chimney
Before he can slide down
In his jolly red mask and plastic gloves
He’ll be makin' smiles out of frowns

Chorus
Ho ho ho now don’t you fuss
It’s Christmas with a virus
Deck the halls with sterile gauze
And please don’t cough on Santa Claus

The children will be dreaming
All snuggled in their beds
Visions of ventilators
Dancing in their heads
Can’t kiss you ‘neath the mistletoe
No caroling this year
And instead of a lousy fruitcake
We’ll all get Remdesivir

Chorus

It’s a corona virus Christmas
Raise the wassail, ice the gin,
But don’t go near the punchbowl, dear
It’s full of Hydroxychloroquine.
It’s gonna be a COVID Christmas
We’ll make the best of it, you’ll see
And if we live to Christmas 2021
We’ll all toast herd immunity


Chorus
