COVID Buyer, a tribute to brave front line shoppers.

COVID Buyer [Part 2 of my COVID Trilogy]

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

A loose relyric of Asia's prog rock song "Sole Survivor" by John Wetton and Geoffrey Downes.

The background music is a "Sole Survivor" cover by Japan's MoryGuitar.

INTRO

If you've no where to go.

Sit back and hear me flow!

'Bout true COVID heros...

VERSE 1

Knew my function,

And did it real well.

Our nutrition,

On my shoulders fell.

Front of the grocery,

White collared priest.

Read my last rites,

Lest I'd be deceased.

CHORUS

I was the COVID buyer.

Walmart and Target shopper.

COVID buyer.

Designated shopper.

VERSE 2

When staple hoarding,

Get paper to wipe.

If affording's,

A problem, then swipe.

Shop in the morning,

When shelves are packed.

One word of warning:

Bring your own sacks.

CHORUS

If you're the COVID buyer.

Lowes and Home Depot shopper.

COVID buyer.

Designated shopper.

BRIDGE

I thought I was chosen.

For my dependability.

Found out the real reason,

Was my expendability.

But this asthmatic consumer,

(Predestined for a breathing device),

Wants to thank all merchandising employees,

For their incredible sacrifice.

VERSE 3

Check out line waiting,

Give ladies some space.

But before dating,

See all of their face.

When sticks are offered,

Held out by your Pa.

Long is pre-ferred.

Don't pick the short straw!

Nooooo!

CHORUS

You'll be the COVID buyer.

CVS Drugs shopper.

COVID buyer.

Designated shopper.

The End
