Plague Songs - Normal Christmas / by Rich Hobbs

The World outside is frightening,

But you might get struck by lightning

Don’t wanna spend Xmas in bed

Let it spread let it spread let it spread!

The smiles on the kiddies’ faces

As nobody tracks and traces

And Gran and her carer are dead

Let it spread let it spread let it spread!

We tried out herd imm-un-ity

And snogged neath the mistletoe

Decimating our comm-un-ity

And now it won’t even snow!

This year we’ve no tree – we’re spruceless

And the Government is useless,

These leaders are as toxic as lead

Let it spread let it spread let it spread

And because he’s stuck in lockdown

Santa’s not on his way

So we’ve started knocking the hock down

By drinking til Boxing day!

And though we’ll try to feel perky

We’ve all been stuffed like turkeys

But without the Brussels! So, unfed,

Let it spread left it spread let it spread!
