(apologies to Tom Lehrer)
[to the tune of “We Will All Go Together When We Go”] When you go to the hospital From Coronavirus transmittal You will know COVID-19 has come to you Though you doubted the pandemic Now you wish for something chemic- al, a vaccine or a cure to see you through (You wish they’d hurry) No more face masks, no more tissue Gee, your family will miss you You left the house and then you touched your face For if the cough that sprays on you Gets your friends and neighbors too In three months we’ll lose half the human race And we will all cough together when we cough For we could not afford to take time off Universal insurance Might have been some deterrence Now we will all cough together when we cough We will all hack together when we hack There’ll be too much morbidity to track We will spread our pneumonia From New York to California All our Netflix marathons will fade to black Oh, we will all wheeze together when we wheeze There’ll be no ambulance despite our pleas We will trade “see you laters” From our matching respirators No inheritors will claim our legacies And we will all plague together when we plague We’ll have left our last wishes rather vague We will cause a complication With the city’s sanitation Let no one judge our hygiene but The Hague Oh we will all ill together when we ill No research funding, no vaccine, no pill Just sing out a good nighty When you catch C O V I D In the afterlife you can skip the bill Oh we will all phlegm together when we phlegm There will no longer be an us and them We will spread our contagion To each Hoosier, Yank, and Cajun We’ll unite in global chaos and mayhem We will all go together when we go Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco When we all become infectious And the hospitals reject us Yes we all will go together When we all go together Yes, we all will go together when we go Comments are closed.
