Although we’re social-distancing
In this pandemic time,
We choristers are here with
Some sweet and silly rhymes:

Chorus: Love and joy come to you,
And to you your household too,
And God bless you, and make you virus-free,
Virus-free,
And God bless you, and make you virus-free.

This stupid little virus
Keeps us six feet apart,
But we rejoice in friendship
That’s deep within the heart---

We’re tired of watching Netflix
And seeing markets crash,
So here we are, your neighbors
For this impromptu bash---

Oh, music is the medicine
That heals our ev’ry care---
And we musicians, doctors
With happy news to share---

We thank you, kindly citizens,
For lending us your ear,
We can’t come any closer,
But please accept our cheer:
