Just Stay In (Tune: Let it go)

Just Stay In (Tune: Let it Go)

The sun comes down on a crowded beach
Not a towel left alone
A kingdom of stupidity
But they all should be at home

The anger is rushing like a swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I’ve tried
Pick up your towels, Get in your car
Don’t care if you have travelled near or far
Behave, grow up, just go on home
Well, go on home

Just stay in, just stay in
Go on home and close your doors
Just stay in, just stay in
Get used to being bores
We all care, NHS to stay
Let our health carry on
The queues never bothered us anyway

It’s funny how social distance makes everything seem small
And the fools that once controlled us can’t get to us at all
It’s time to rise and now be strong
To test us all can’t be so wrong
No time, no lies , no playing out
I’m out

Just stay in, just stay in
We can see the clouds and the sky
Just stay in, just stay in
Don’t make us mad and cry
Here we are, a pandemic
Hope the fools stay in

Our hopes fading, the NHS is overworked
Our volunteers on hand, NHS is now reworked
And one by one the human race starts to survive
We’re never going back, we’re all glad to be alive

Just stay in, just stay in
The world together as one
Just stay in, just stay in
The virus now has gone
Here we stand, a United Earth
Let the fun begin
The sun will be shining another day

Goodbye

I knew you would be leaving
But I didn’t know so soon
It was hard to say goodbye
But none of us are immune

The world is a different place
It’s different from before
I want you to be safe
So please all stay indoor

I hope I’ve taught you well
Made a small difference
With memories in your mind
You’ll remember a fond experience

At times I had to feed you
But that was just the start
I’m not sure what will happen
I hope I played an important part

When you left I cried
I’m not ashamed to say
You always smiled at me
Even though you struggled each day

As a teacher I just don’t teach
I love, care and guide
I’m the law in your hectic life
But you knew I have a soft side

I’m there when you are broke
Putting you back together
I’m there to catch your tears
You are in my thoughts forever

Now as the uncertainty begins
And I won’t see you again
Be sure I’ll have your back
And I’ll never forget your name
