‘Don’t Wanna Hold Your Hand’ — a ballad for virus season

(Tune: “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney)

Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something

I think you’ll understand:

Coronavirus coming —

Don’t wanna hold your hand!

Don’t make me hold your ha-a-a-and,

Don’t wanna hold your hand!

Oh please, say to me

you really washed your hands;

then I’ll say to ye,

I’ll let you hold my hand!

Please really wash your ha-a-a-ands,

so I can hold your hand!

And if I touch you I’ll feel happy inside,

when I am seeing that your sneeze

didn’t hide,

you’re all right!

Or, yeah, you’ve got that something

we try to understand?

Then I’ll say that something —

don’t wanna hold your hand!

Don’t make me hold your ha-a-a-and,

don’t wanna hold your hand,

don’t make me hold your ha-a-a-ha-a-a-and!
