Oh where, Oh where
Has this Covid gone?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
In a lab in China
Or a politician’s mind?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
Out here in the country when our noses get runny
We know it’s an allergy, tho’ that’s not too funny
There’s no need for worry, no need for more testing
Just keep working all day, and night is for resting
Oh where, Oh where
Has this Covid gone?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
In a lab in China
Or a politician’s mind?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
That Covid it came in, and was sneaky like a fox
And we quit our routines, and moved into a box
It went away, then came back in big numbers
Until we realized, beauracrats think we’re dumber
Oh where, Oh where
Has this Covid gone?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
In a lab in China
Or a politician’s mind?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
You know, I belived them, all those talking heads
I believed their theories, in the words that they said
I believed in masks, in vaxes and my mind
But an honest politician, you’ll never find
Oh where, Oh where
Has this Covid gone?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
In a lab in China
Or a politician’s mind?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
I drank six beers tryin’ to forget all this sufferin’
Then sobered up and took a couple of Bufferin
They say Covid is leaving, it appears that it’s true
But nothing to hate makes many of us blue
Oh where, Oh where
Has this Covid gone?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
In a lab in China
Or a politician’s mind?
Oh where, Oh where
Can it be?
When Covid left us, along came that Putin
Hey, we don’t like him, that’s what we’re tootin’
He’s mean and nasty, a bully for sure
Like with Covid, for him there’s no cure
My apologies to the late Buck Owens for murdering his song. You may remember it from the Hee Haw episodes.
Phht! I’m gone.
