For anyone else like me who might need a bit of entertainment. Or, if you just want an insight into how my self-distancing is going, I present to you my reworking of 9-5…. Covid-19.

Luckily for me, there are lots of karaoke videos, so I am keeping myself entertained. Luckily for you, I haven’t quite got to the stage of recording me singing it yet.

(Obviously I own no rights to the musical masterpiece that is 9-5. I just wanted to have a bit of fun).

Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen 
Pour myself a cup of ambition 
Yawnin’, stretchin’ reaching for my phone
Look outta the window, it’s really something
Out on the street the traffic ain’t jumping
Cos folks like me are all staying right at home

Working from our homes – it’s the way we are now living
Not spreading our germs, no, no virus here we’re giving
We’re all stuck inside, for everybody’s benefit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it!

Covid19, it’s got you where it wants you
Self quarantined, and hoping that it’s ‘just flu’
Want to see my friends, but the Gov won’t seem to let me
Think I’ve watched everything that’s on the TV

They’ll shut the pubs and close the borders
Don’t even think about a Tesco order
If you’ve got a cough they’ll lock you all away.
14 days with family – no friends
Is this how the world really ends?
How many games of cards can you really play?

Covid 19 – It’s got you when it wants you
Self quarantined and hoping that it’s just flu
We’re all stuck inside, for everybody’s benefit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it!

Toilet rolls, we’ve got them by the thousand
Twenty seconds plus, that’s how long to wash your hands for
Tell your parents no, they really mustn’t go out
If they bend the rules, you’ll definitely find out. 

Covid19 – It’s got you where it wants you
Self quarantined and hoping that it’s just flu
Want to see my friends, but the Gov won’t seem to let me
Think I’ve watched everything that’s on the TV

Praise the NHS who are working through disaster
An uncertain time, who knows how long it’ll last for
We’re all stuck inside, but we’ll make the best of it
Rediscover a hobby and have time to master it

Covid19 – It’s got you where it wants you
Self quarantined and hoping that it’s just flu
Want to see my friends, but the gov won’t seem to let me
Think I’ve watched everything that is on the TV
