Melody: “School Days”
School days, school days,
Should we have in-person school days?
Reading and writing and ‘rithmetic
With your classmates who might get you sick.
Will they remain six feet apart?
And wear the masks showing that they’re smart?
Will the Lysol make things clean, to save our health.
Thus preventing the spread of Covid.
School days, school day,
Should we have distance zoom school days?
Reading and writing and ‘rithmetic
With mom or dad we can take our pick.
If they are busy and must work
Then our assignments we can shirk.
Let us heed Trump’s advice, and never fear.
Since we kids are immune from Covid.
