With apologies to Jimmy Buffet, a parody…

“Coronavirusville”

Nibblin’ on fritos
Ran out of cheetos
Stuck in the house with nothin’ to do
Watchin’ a movie, but not feelin’ groovy
But I got me a blender ‘cause I’m just outta brew

Wastin’ away again in Coronavirusville
While the country has ground to a halt
Some people claim that it’s the White House to blame
But I know it’s all China’s fault

Don’t know the reason
I’m stuck here all season
Nothing to do but sit on my ass…
But it is my duty,
Tho’ not “Constituty”
So I stay at home and fill up my glass

Wastin’ away again in Coronavirusville
While the country has ground to a halt
Some people claim that it’s the White House to blame
But I know it’s all China’s fault

The boss had a meeting
I learned from his tweeting
That we’re put on furlough until May or June
But a check is a comin’
While my fingers are drummin’
So I sit on my ass and bang out this tune…

Wastin’ away again in Coronavirusville
While the country has ground to a halt
Some people claim that it’s the White House to blame
But I know it’s all China’s fault
