King Corona

Here's my Covid song. I was thinking of those old blues songs about diseases, like the TB Blues



There’s an old demon worryin’ ‘round my door
Oh, King Corona
I told him I’m not the one he’s looking for
Oh King Corona
I said, Sir you must be mistaken
I locked my door, but he tried to break in
He’s a nasty devil and he means to score
Oh, King Corona

I thought maybe I could hide
Oh, King Corona
Spend the rest of my life inside
Oh, King Corona
I don’t know what makes him desire us
So much power in one little virus
Couldn’t get away no matter how I tried
Oh, King Corona

When he comes knocking, will I be able to refuse?
Oh, King Corona
Will I be the one that he grabs and subdues?
Oh King Corona
First you have a little cough
Soon that demon tries to carry you off
Don’t want to sing those ventilator blues
Oh King Corona

Nice. Prompts a feminine reply, Queen Corona.

Oh, like a deadly lover instead of a demon. More of a tango than a blues song. I like the idea because quite a while ago I thought I should have a song title for every letter of the alphabet, and I don't have a Q yet. This is my song for X: https://spartanbar.blogspot.com/2016/04/x-is-for-you.html. For some reason Dennis never wrote a tune for it.

Yes. That would work. I remember your idea and x.
