Get the Vaccine


Parody of "Get Together"

Love is but a song we sing,

Fear's the way we die

You can make your arm sting

Or make the angels cry

Yes the germ is on the wing

And you should know why


Come on, people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Time to get the vaccine right now


Some may come and some may go

They didn’t need to pass

When the one that left us here

Returns for us at mass

We are but a moment's sunlight

Protected at an impasse.


Come on, people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Time to get the vaccine right now

All my life's a timeline

All my life is a timeline (parody of Circle)

Chorus: 

All my life’s a timeline,

Thumbs up and thumbs down

The trolls scroll through the nightime

Til the day break comes around

All my life’s a timeline,

And it can tell you why,

The stories fade to nothing

The ads go right on by


I liked you 100 times

I guess you’ve done the same

and then we lose each other

It’s an algorithm game

But as I sit alone tonight

your dinner caught my eye

The pork grilled to perfection

The onions piled high


Chorus: 

It seems like I’ve seen that before

I can’t remember when

but I got this funny feeling

that I’ll see it once again

There’s straight friends that make up my line

but most of them have been bends

They have clear cut opinions

And some pretty rear ends

Chorus: 

Parody written of the song "Circle" by Harry Chapin offered by Dave Schipper © 2021 Rose Riversongs

Here's a rough recording of it.

If you never heard the song, here's a classic from his live LP. Now he said anyone can sing the song but it's got a little range to it.
