Twice this year, classes in my school have had to quarantine for the holidays due to positive COVID test results in the building. I wrote this little ditty over the Christmas break, and added a special Easter update today. Feel free to sing along.

 I wore my goggles and my mask: 
   Somebody sneezed on me!
 I sanitized my withered hands: 
   Somebody sneezed on me!
 I don't have plexiglass
 In my cramped, crowded class:
 I stepped sideways, but alas!
   Somebody sneezed on me. 

     Now we're getting COVID for Christmas,
      Students and teachers are mad.
     We're getting COVID for Christmas,
      'Cause Dougie's been nothing but bad.
 He says that children don't get sick:
    Somebody snitch on him!
 He says that teachers aren't at risk:
    Somebody snitch on him!
 Two metres just can't be done;
 We can't even manage one!
 These outbreaks have just begun:
    Somebody snitch on him! 

     'Cause we're getting COVID for Christmas,
       Counting our way to fourteen,
      We're getting COVID for Christmas,
       It's Christmas with COVID-19. 

Close the bars and bingo halls, but
  Send the kids to school!
Tighten outdoor protocols, but
  Send the kids to school!
One day we will vaccinate,
But we can't give you a date.
Until then you'll have to wait, but
  Send the kids to school!

     Now we're getting COVID for Easter,
       Wearing our fanciest clothes.
     We're getting COVID for Easter,
       With cottontail swabs up the nose. 

Cut the funding, raise the caps,
   Send the kids to school!
Keep the testing under wraps:
   Send the kids to school!
Teachers are in ICU,
We've run out of substitutes,
What's a government to do?
   Send the kids to school!

     Now we're getting COVID for Easter,
       Hopping our way to fourteen,
     We're getting COVID for Easter,
       It's Easter with COVID-19.
