(instrumental opening)

Well, I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler.
'Cause I ain't workin', if I were, I still couldn't spend a dollar.
Every time I call my baby, with somethin' to ask
that girl says, "No dice, boy, we can't kiss through a mask."

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure, so it's COVID time blues.

(instrumental break)

Well, my Mom and Pop, they told me, "Son, just keep a social distance.
Don't you come over by car, at our doctor's strong insistence."
Well, I can't go to work, heard the boss there is sick.
And the Governor of Florida is taking the mick.

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure, so it's COVID time blues.

(instrumental break)

I'm gonna take two weeks, or might take until Thanksgiving.
But I'll be walking on Election Day, 'cause Donald, this ain't living.
Well, don't call no Congressmen, 'cause I say, quote:
"You screwed this up you bum, so for Biden, we vote!"

Sometimes, I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure, so it's COVID time blues.
