Covid Christmas

Are you hanging up your face mask on the wall?
Are you waiting for the infection rate to fall?
Are you going to cook a turkey
Or put a tree up in the front room?
'Cause you'll be celebrating Christmas day on Zoom (or Google Meet)

So here it is, COVID Christmas
We nearly had it on the run
Thought it would be over by September
But it's only just begun

Does this song really need another verse?
And they say the second wave is gonna be worse (track and trace, brah)
There was an outbreak in the grotto
Santa's had to quarantine
So I'm staying indoor till they roll out a vaccine

So here it is, COVID Christmas
We nearly had it on the run
Thought it would be over by September
But it's only just begun

What would your neighbors do if they saw you
Partying with six or more, ah

Newport's back in lockdown, can you believe? (Yeah, I can believe it)
Imagine all the super spreading on New Year's Eve (I'm not going out on New Year's Eve)
Won't be seeing nana
She's having Christmas dinner on her own
In hindsight we probably should've put her in a home (love you, nana)

So here it is, COVID Christmas
Carving turkey up for one
Thought it would be over by September
But it's only just begun
So here it is, COVID Christmas
We nearly had it on the run
It won't be over by next September
'Cause it's only just begun
