Life was once flowing so nicely
I had money to spend, places to be
I had sports and me friends at the bar
So, never alone with just wife and TV.
Then out of China came a bad virus
Like none of us have ever known
Spread by trav’lers on planes and ships
And the good life we had is now gone!
So, Shelter in place and don’t touch your face Chorus
Avoid any contact at all
Don’t go out to eat, or in a bar meet
Or to corona, the virus, you’ll fall!
No school for the kids is no blessing
No work for waiters, players or me
No getting together with fam’ly or
Friends. Things are as bad as can be!
So, Shelter in place and don’t touch your face Chorus
Avoid any contact at all
Don’t go out to eat, or in a bar meet
Or to corona, the virus, you’ll fall!
Don’t get me wrong, I do love me wife
She’s been me darlin’ for years
But, enough is enough and I need some
Time with me friends and a few beers
So, Shelter in place and don’t touch your face Chorus
Avoid any contact at all
Don’t go out to eat, or in a bar meet
Or to corona, the virus, you’ll fall!

Author Notes
Saints be praised for way the Irish can lift spirits. I've been in pubs where they lifted spirits all night! Sing my song like you would sing if you had been there liftin' spirits with 'em.
I once gave myself a golf trip to the Emerald Isle. My wife was a bit frustrated that I would take my clubs and not her, but I told her there is a limit on how much baggage a man can bring. "Anyway," I volunteered, "I might find me a Galway Girl while I'm there!"
So, I went for a week, played golf every day, and then I called her from the Shannon airport to say I was checking in for the flight home...
She: "Well, did you have any luck?"
I: "No. I played terrible golf all week"
She: "No, I mean did you find you a Galway Girl?"
I: "No."
She: "Well, give it another week!"
Don't forget to tip your waitress.
