Just Another Covid Monday
a quarantine parody of “Manic Monday” by The Bangles
Six o’clock already
I woke up from a feverish dream
Wasted all weekend
Vacillating over what show to stream
But I can’t be lazy
The groc’ry line is starting to form
And there won’t be any bagels
If I arrive there after that swarm
ㅤ ㅤIt’s just another Covid Monday
ㅤ ㅤOr, maybe it’s Tuesday?
ㅤ ㅤNo one’s on the roadway
ㅤ ㅤWhat’s blocking my airway?
ㅤ ㅤIt’s just another Covid Monday
Have to join some work calls
Nowadays they’re all on Zoom
Waist down in my jammies
Live, from my home office tomb
’Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out if I’m gonna shave
No one to impress in my
Hermetically sealed man cave
ㅤ ㅤIt’s just another Covid Monday
ㅤ ㅤOr, maybe it’s Tuesday?
ㅤ ㅤNo one’s on the roadway
ㅤ ㅤWhat’s blocking my airway?
ㅤ ㅤIt’s just another Covid Monday

All of the germs
Why did China have to pick this one
To incubate
~
Do we really need
Our trigger-happy cabinet to
Retaliate
~
If it’s gotta be World War Three
Lemme go brew some Oolong Tea
~
Time it goes so slow
When you’re pandemicking …

an 80s throwback companion to
and now, enjoy “Manic Monday” by The Bangles
