Its like the black death
Bring out your dead, they call, they call,
I'm in a bright yellow hazmat overall
Face mask covers me
Its been 5 days since the outbreak
So many people crying from behind walls
Wailling
Like the sirens of the ambulances through the day
Police sirens at night keeping angry mobs at bay
But we trust in our government - there is a strict
Chain of command, I do my job
I'm my bosses right hand,
He is his boss's all the way to the top
The Chairman stands untouchable above them all
He is God, this virus can't touch him
But what if it was sent by God to punish us for our sins?
What if? What if? That's crazy talk head down just do my job
No time to talk, "Bring out your dead" they cry again
I knock on the door of the nearest house
Ministry of Public Health to investigate Madam
May we come?
We go in any way, it is a scene of decay
She has hardly slept, only wept
Her baby lies still in the throes of death
Her husband is blue, vomiting in the corner
Lock it down I shout, and call the coroner
Coroner he says back don't you mean Corona?
I say ' You are sick Mr Chan for the sake of your wife and daughter
Come with me now
He follows me out like a walking Zombie
This is Zombie town, or it will be in about 24 hrs
There's no way out, half of them will get it, maybe me too
Oh Mother Oh chairman, what am I to do?

COVID 2 Live animal collection team Wuhan Market
Hey look friend another one of those dopey Pangolins
Come on pick him up, stick him in the back of the truck too
He'll still make someone a nice Pangolin stew
On the markets of Wuhan
Boss - what about the berries -you pick 'em you carry 'em too Terry
In the bustling streets of Wuhan:
Man its hot here, I hardly move for people-
Hey where do you want these crates of Pangolin?
Just stack them up over there next to the snakes
And the lizards, mind don't make mistakes
Wuhan, Wuhan, they're selling everything here
From live bats in cages to tigers from stones ages
Anything to increase your life span
Wuhan, Wuhan in the markets of Wuhan
You can buy what ever will make you hard, soft boil a live chick
In vat of bubbling oil
There's an old woman chasing chickens with a carving knife
There's a little boy laughing poking a monkey crying for his life
There are rattle snakes chattering, old hogs gaffawing
In Wuhan, where you can spend a day shopping with your wife
Buy it live, buy it fresh, just out from the forests, don't mind the pest
You want the best you can.. get? Then you come to the markets of Wuhan

COVID 1 - The Pangolin
I am a Pangolin
Just sniffing around the ground
They can't get a thing on me
I'm the epitomy of anonimity
My scaly back my long nose rubbing up
Against a grub
Or sniffing a rose
Just shooting the breeze with my Pangolin friends
When Atissue, sneeze and then that is the end
Just sniffing around the ground
They can't get a thing on me
I'm the epitomy of anonimity
My scaly back my long nose rubbing up
Against a grub
Or sniffing a rose
Just shooting the breeze with my Pangolin friends
When Atissue, sneeze and then that is the end

COVID 0 - The Bat
I am the bat that lives in the cave
My dropping go splat, but we can be brave
None of us are afraid of the dark - we are bats of course
That would be absurd
Whose ever heard of that
Only up in the colony went around the word
That in some cave in south China
Just take a right at Nepal and you're into Asia Minor
The bats are dropping like flies, that's all
Who told me that? Oh another bat name Mike
In fact there he is down there in the guano
Hey Mike stop being a banana get up here you cat
_Don't mind him he's a fruit bat -they're always a bit bananas
That's strange he's not moving, just taking a rest I expect
Still I have to be off, I've a nice berry bush I'm picking
Near a Pangolin nest, oh they are pests, don't get me started
Seeya Mike -they say a change is as good as a rest
My dropping go splat, but we can be brave
None of us are afraid of the dark - we are bats of course
That would be absurd
Whose ever heard of that
Only up in the colony went around the word
That in some cave in south China
Just take a right at Nepal and you're into Asia Minor
The bats are dropping like flies, that's all
Who told me that? Oh another bat name Mike
In fact there he is down there in the guano
Hey Mike stop being a banana get up here you cat
_Don't mind him he's a fruit bat -they're always a bit bananas
That's strange he's not moving, just taking a rest I expect
Still I have to be off, I've a nice berry bush I'm picking
Near a Pangolin nest, oh they are pests, don't get me started
