I went shopping yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
I went shopping yesterday
But only for essentials
Nobody kept two metres away, metres away, metres away
Nobody kept two metres away
When shopping for essentials
I told people to keep away, keep away, play away,
I told people to keep away
Or we’d all be dead in the morning
People stared as if I were mad, if I were mad, if I were mad
People stared as if I were mad
Not sure if they should believe me
Confused by the voice of irony, irony, irony
Confused by the voice of irony
They kept their distance from me
I won’t be going shopping today, shopping today, shopping today
I won’t be going shopping today
I’ve caught the Coronavirus
I haven’t got long to live they say, live they say, live they say
I haven’t got long to live they say
Because of Coronavirus
So burn my body in flame and fire, flame and fire, flame and fire
Burn my body in flame and fire
In the merry month of May
I went shopping yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
I went shopping yesterday
