From the recording Sit & Stay (6 feet away)
This is a funny song about 2020, the year the world turned upside down - when rules are peculiar & nonsensical, friends become wary of each other, and everything that we know about life becomes questionable. Well, this crazy year is finally coming to an end. Let's have a good laugh and hopefully 2021 will bring back trust and common sense!
And let's never go back to no dancing and hugging.
"Without a song or dance what are we?" - ABBA
Lyrics
Verse 1:
What if one morning you wake up
And your freedom is taken away
You wanna run down to the beach to play
But the beach ain't healthy they say
Chorus:
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta stay six feet away
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta just sit and stay
Verse 2:
What if loneliness is driving you mad
And you need a little lovin' and a huggin' so bad
All you get is a facebook emoji
All the people say, stay six feet away from me
Chorus:
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta stay six feet away
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta just sit and stay
Verse 3:
What if one morning you wake up
And your civil rights were taken away
In the blink of an eye
Your liberty dies
Now tell me are you really ok
Chorus:
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta stay six feet away
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta just sit and stay
Bridge:
Now your freedom is taken away
And your emoji is on the way
Can't get no holiday
Still gotta keep six feet away
Just keep tellin' yourself it ain't happenin' today
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta stay six feet away
You're told to stay away
Why don't you stay away
You gotta just sit and stay
Outro:
How long how long
I've got a fascination
How long how long
Gonna gotta fascinate everyone
How long how long
In this big big continent
How long how long
Ain't got no time for education
How long how long
We gotta gotta free the population
How long how long
From America to Iran
How long how long
Just a little longer, we'll be done
How long how long
Got to be sure we got everyone
How long how long
It's a fascination
Fascinate
Fascinate me fascinate me
Fascinated
