Stay Six Feet Away From Me
Speck
Thanks to Kara Square (uke and one woo) and Stefan Kartenberg (tambourine).
I kept it simple. Enhancements welcome.
Stay safe.
Cough into your elbow
Wash your hands repeatedly
If you absolutely must go out
stay six feet away from me
Don’t say that you don’t have it
‘cause there ain’t no way to know
you can carry it around for days
before any symptoms show
Don’t go out without a reason
only for essentials
I don’t wanna catch you runnin’ out
for ice cream and pretzels
We have to take this serious
Listen to the scientists
Take to heart what they have to say
and still try not to be pessimists
We can’t freak out or stress
It lowers your immunities
Especially if you have
some sort of pre-existing lung disease
This too shall pass in due time
or so my elders say
so hunker down, do your best
to keep us safest day to day
I don’t mean to burden you
Please pardon my insistence
but I’m gonna keep reminding you
to keep your social distance
Be careful going out
to score your stress-reducing chocolates
and stay six feet away from me
because respiratory droplets
