I am the Virus

[Ecurb Noselrub]

With apologies to Lennon/McCartney

I AM THE VIRUS (sung to I Am the Walrus)

I am small as you are small and we are small
But we are big together
See how we fly like drops in the sky
Whenever they sneeze

I am the Covid, we are the Covids, I am the Virus, Koo-koo-Achoo

Lurking in the shadows when you take off your mask
Governmental lies all help with my disguise
Man, they've been some naughty boys
To say we don't exist

I am the Covid, we are the Covids, I am the Virus

Sitting in the city ER waiting for vaccines
If the shots don't come they'll hook you up to tubes in the ICU

I am the Covid, we are the Covids, I am the Virus

Mr. Atlas, you're a dumbass
Pretty little falsehoods in a row
See how we spread and you end up dead
See us infect
You're dying, you're dying

Remdesivir cocktail, dripping from an IV tube
Grabba ventilator, do a tracheostomy
Boy, you've been a naughty nurse,
You let your eye shield down

I am the Covid, we are the Covids, I am the Virus

Trump's no expert, he's a con man,
Don't you think the voters see you lied
See how they vote – kicked you to the moat
See how they cheer

Papa Joe and Kamala
Climbing up the ladder of power
The new administration's takin' care of business
Man, you should have seen them getting rid of William Barr

I am the Covid, we are the Covids, I am the Virus,

Did you write that?

[Ecurb Noselrub]

Did you write that?

The words, not the tune (obviously).  The words fit pretty good if you hit the right rhythm.

That's dead impressive!

[Dark Lightning]

Indeed, inspired. I used to make (NSFW) lyrics for tunes on the radio during my hours-long commute time.

Not going to share and titbits?

I've done the same. But I don't think Weird Al Yankovich has anything to worry about. 

[Dark Lightning]

OK, here's one to the tune of Willie Nelson's, "On the Road Again".

On the toad again,
Can't wait to get on the toad again,
Lick'n batrachotoxins with my friends,
Can't wait to get on the toad again...



NB: Don't do this. I only have seen what happens to people who do, on youtube or in the news.

is it true that some schoolkid wrote to lennon that his teacher had them analyzing beatles lyrics, and lennon was so amused that he wrote i am the walrus just to mesz with them?

EN, "I Am the Virus" is brilliant. The lyrics totally fit with the music. Quite an accomplishment.

I don't know, but my mom told me that in a grad school English class, the professor had them analyzing Simon and Garfunkel lyrics. She loved S&G but was like, Dude, they're not all that deep.

That's quite a talent you've got!

Do another one!
