COVID September (a la Earth, Wind, and Fire)

Do you remember your vacation in December?
Or Thanksgiving with mom in November?
While chasing food comas away
We weren’t unhinging
Did not know what the new year was bringing
There was not such a fright. Remember
How the kids went to school each day?

Hey hey hey
Ba de ya, say do you remember?
Ba de ya, classes in September
Ba de ya, never was a home school day
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

We need to check it
Stay at home with a mask or we’ll wreck it
Preserving our health. Remember
Grandma’s life’s in your hands today
Next September will be worse if we don’t surrender
Bars and buffets and concerts. Remember
Viral loads we share today

Hey hey hey

Ba de ya, say what is your yearning?
Ba de ya, class or distance learning
Ba de ya, school starts up any day…
And we say
Ba de ya, curves we must be bending
Ba de ya, let’s not keep pretending 
Ba de ya, cases going up each day
