When This Pandemic Ends

VERSE Since this pandemic started I've forgotten how to smile

I feel like I'm abandoned on some lonely desert isle

Locking down in quarantine is really not my style

So when it ends I'm planning to go absolutely wild!

I'll build a great big bonfire and I'll throw in all my masks

Then I'll go out to dine and dance with anyone who asks

I will party all night long with everyone I know

And when I feel like traveling I'll pack my bags and go

CHORUS Do what you can to stay alive

We'll celebrate when we survive

We'll reconnect with friends

When this pandemic ends

VERSE: I'll get up close to say hello to strangers on the street

I'll shake their hands and then I'll try to kiss them on both cheeks

I won't wash my groceries, I won't sanitize my shoes

Won't overdose on tragic stories from the nightly news

I'll burn those pajamas I've been wearing day and night

Start work on my appearance so I don't look such a fright

Soon I'll be in my fancy clothes onstage where I belong

'Cause I will have some gigs again, where I will sing this song

CHORUS: Yes, I'll reclaim my self-respect

By making up for my neglect

A brand new day will dawn

When this pandemic's gone

VERSE: I'll go back to hanging out in all the local clubs

I'll get on a dating site to search for my new love

He can hold me close and I will whisper in his ear

We'll cuddle and we'll snuggle and I'll kiss away his tears

I'll open up my house, inviting everyone inside

And then we'll pile into a car. Together we will ride

I'll go back to doing all the things that used to thrill me

And I'll be full of confidence that none of them will kill me

CHORUS: We will go from place to place

We'll meet each other face to face

We're gonna have some fun

When this pandemic's done
