The CoVid-19 Is Whipping Me*

Y'all heard the story, of beatin' that ol' CoVid-19

Punchin' and swingin', whippin' that ol' CoVid-19

I'm here to tell ya, the CoVid-19's whippin' me

Used to go 'round thinkin' ain't nothing goin' hurt me

Used to go 'round thinkin' ain't nothing in the world goin' hurt me

But my world vanished when I caught the ol' CoVid-19

Went to the doctor and he said son you gotta step back

Went to the doctor and he said son you just gotta step back

Keep your six foot distance or you'll give me a heart attack

Strollin' down the street saw all the people wearin' masks

Strollin' down the street, yeah, everybody was wearin' a mask

Steppin' away from me as if I was a dangerous outcast

I got the fever and the cough, and my lips are turnin' blue

I got the fever and the cough, and my lips are turnin' pale blue

This doggone bug is worse than any ol' stupid flu

Goin' 'round thinkin' I'm probably not gonna' last too long

Goin' 'round thinkin' I might not last too long

So long everybody, hope you miss me when I'm gone
