In December, 2019, it was hinted that I should make macarons for the next Christmas potluck... but Duchess (unfortunately) pandemicancelled their 2020 spring courses (and, you know, we were not allowed to have potlucks the 2020 Christmas season).... In lieu of making something yummyedible... and... since Christmas music started on FM 96.3 on November 12... to partially make up for ruining the song for someone a couple of years ago, below are some lyrics I tossed together....
Tune is "Baby, It's Cold Outside", especially as sung by Betty Garret and Red Skelton in the film "Neptune's Daughter"... unless, of course, you would rather first gaze at (or listen to) Ricardo Montalbán in his younger days....
"Golly, COVID's Outside"
[Guest} [Host(ess)]
I really can't stay...
But, golly, COVID's outside...
I've flight to Kauai...
Nope, really, COVID's outside...
Since Spring it has been...
Still hoping you will stay in...
So very nice...
Just rest your hands; isn't a tice...
I think I just saw some flurries...
Dazzling, add to worries...
Everyone's told to stay on their floor...
Not supposed to go out the door...
I'm starting to have some furies...
Two metres slows the hurries...
Well, maybe just half a case more...
Put some jammies on while I pour....
The neighbour's on Zoom...
Really, it's bad out there...
Talking 'bout gloom...
Avoiding the cabs out there...
I wish I knew how...
Focus on the here and now...
To break this curse...
Let's wear a mask so you stay well....
I ought to say no, no, no, dear...
It's safe to stay in this sphere...
This isn't what I want for a tide...
What's the sense of joining the died...
Okay if I stay?...
Matey, don't hold pout,
Golly, COVID's outside.... Golly, COVID's outside....
D'you think I should go?...
Haby, COVID's outside...
Your answer is no?...
Nabi, COVID's outside...
The lockdown has been...
How thrilling that you stayed in...
They say "New norm..."
Relax while I water the corm....
This virus is so darn vicious...
A new level of vitious...
Smiles are waiting outside of the door...
Like Warmth on a tropical shore...
Your caution was so propitious...
Try the bread, so delicious...
Well, maybe just a small baguette more...
It's okay whenever you swore....
I found a new home...
There's such a disease out there...
Might set up a moat...
Must filter the air out there...
So much has been banned...
A thrill when something is planned...
Missing shared glee...
Helping others to smile is key....
They say there's vaccine tomorrow...
Here's a touch of espresso...
Wonder if it will save our Yuletide...
Avoid the pneumonia's bedside...
I'm glad that I'll stay...
We're not allowed to shout...
Sweetie, COVID's outside.... Sweetie, COVID's outside....
