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.
