WINNING ENTRY ... New lyrics by Molly Willey
ENTRY #3: "I AM THE CORONAVIRUS"
("Alexander Hamilton" - Hamilton)
​
How does a wretched virus
Son of a bat or an anteater
Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In Wuhan China
With Fever and coughing and aches
Grow up to be a world wide disaster

The school stopper, everything was so shut down
So it became famous
By making us work harder
Doctors and nurses hollered
They wanted to get started on a cure
So everyone went into quarantine

And everyday, the virus was getting stronger and stronger, they say
But another day it struggled to keep its guard up
outside people longed for people to be a part of
they stay in which knocked it all down harder and harder

together we all came, more people did the same
and it all reduced the pain which was dripping down the drain

well the word got around they said, everything is insane man

took a few more weeks to get everything back the same man
got back our education, don’t forget from where you came
and the world united and stayed 
and we fought you, whats your name man?

I am the coronavirus 
Otherwise COVID 19
And millions took me on
They didn’t wait. They didn’t wait

Listen to the audio file for a special performance... 

Below are the **THIRTY-FIVE** entries into our contest... I am so impressed with the quality of the entries! Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure you take a glance at each one. A sample of the lyrics is included, alongside a video example of the original song.
Sing along (out loud!) as you listen/read.

ENTRY 1: "WHEN A ROLL CANNOT BE FOUND"
("When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground" - Finding Neverland)

​When did life become so complicated?
There is no T.P. thank god i’m constipated
The shelves are empty every place
Proof that we have truly lost our way

When did life become this place of madness?
Can’t find anything to use to wipe my *** with
I make believe i’m on the bowl
And dream of everlasting rolls

When a roll can not be found
And your world’s turned upside down
You want safe
In a place
Soft like a cloud

When a roll you can’t unearth
You might use things that could hurt
You decree
So carefree
No more brown

ENTRY #2: "CORONAVIRUS ALWAYS GETS IN THE WAY"
("My Fangs Always Get in the Way" - We Are Monsters)

I want to go to rehearsal and practice every Monday night.
 Put my make-up and my Cape on get on stage and turned down the lights.
And when my solo comes up I blow in the cup but all that's heard is.... Achoo
Cuz the coronavirus gets in the way, the coronavirus gets in the way,
and no matter how hard I pray, the coronavirus gets in the way.


ENTRY #4 - "FOREVER"
("Forever" - Shrek, the Musical)

Another day inside my house 
All I do is sleep, I wanna get out
Cause I'm getting tired of looking at memes 
Please let me out

I wash my hands, don't touch my face 
Oh when can I get out of this place 
Covid-19 you are a disgrace 
Hate that you came around and around and around...

​Oh please don't stay 
Virus go away 
Oh please don't stayyyy 
Forever 
Forever 

Another case another town 
Who let you innn I want you out 
Oh I hate you covid-19 I don't want you around 
You can't come closer than 6 feet (ooooooo)
We must practice social distancing (oooooo)
So PLEASE stay out of reach 
So covid can't get around and around and around...


Oh please don't stay 
Virus go away 
Oh please don't stay
Forever
Forever

ENTRY #5 - "HELPLESS"
("Helpless" - Hamilton)

[ELIZA]
Ohh, I did I did I did I did! Hey!
Ohh, I did I did I did I did!
Boy you had me...

Helpless!
Looked at your pic, and the sky was the limit.
I was helpless!
Down for the count, and I was drownin’ in ‘em

I have never been the type to try meet people online
We were both on Tinder on a lazy Sunday night
Laughin’ at a Youtube video while watin’ for a response
Then I saw your account and you knocked off my socks
Tryin’ to message you to get a date
And when you finally responded it felt like fate! 

Stayin’ up all night as we talk on and on
I didn’t realize it was night until the sun came up at dawn

I was finally ready to make my move
I’m about to ask for a date on Saturday afternoon
I finally work up the courage and I ask in a lengthy text 
He responds with a resounding yes! And I’m 
Helpless!

Oh, look at your pic
Oh!
Yeah, I’m Helpless, I know
I’m so into you
I am so into you
I know I’m down for the count
And I’m drownin’ in ‘em.


ENTRY #6 - "IT'S SCARY AND IT'S WEIRD"
("We Are Monsters" - We Are Monsters)

(Editor's note: Starts at 2:33 in the video)

(SOLO 1)
You might think I’m really sick when I cough or sneeze.
But I just have allergies, not COVID-19. 

(SOLO 2)
I’m still hoping to not get sick. 
I really miss my good fri-ee-ends . 

(EVERYONE)
This is nothing I would think of.
It’s scary, cold and weird.
I hope they make a medicine and help everyone.

Yes it’s sc-ary and it’s we-ird, but we didn’t choose this at all. 
They say co-ugh in your el-bow and same with a sneeze. 
We’re texting, we’re Zooming, we’re home, and we’re sad.
​We’re bored galore!
We are actors, and we wanna do our show. 
Yea, we wanna do our show!​

ENTRY #7 - "BEING QUARANTINED JUST STINKS"
("It's a Hard Knock Life" - Annie)

Being quarantined just stinks
It makes me feel really sick
‘stead of playdates, we’re home stuck
Hand sanitizer's a hundred bucks
Quarantined just stinks!

I’m stuck at home all day
Toilet papers going away
Every day I wanna - run away
It’s so boring – I just say
Quarantined just stinks!

You have to stay 6 feet away from people
You can’t hug or do anything like that
You have to wash your hands after touching anything
But it’s easier than my mom teachin’ math

No one’s there if you want to play outside
No one cares if you watch tv all day
No one can go out to eat anymore
From all the boredom you’d think we’d all be mush
Ohhhhhh!

Really boring life
In pajama life
Can’t go out and play
For the rest of days

Our best friends we never see
Ain’t it sad, I’m not happy
Coronavirus is a bad case
So you can’t even go to a place
Quarantined just stinks!

Lysol does it all
Homeschool makes me drool
Cover your sneeze if you please
I hate you, Coronavirus

Quarantined stinks, stinks, stinks!
No more fun stuff, it’s a bore
‘stead of sports, we just snore
I hope quarantined is no more 
Quarantined just stinks
Quarantined just stinks!

​ENTRY #8 - "WHEN WILL MY SCHOOL OPEN"
("When Will My Life Begin" - Tangled)

Seven a.m., the usual morning lineup
Wash'n my hands and scrub'n till they are all clean
Nothing to do until school shutdown -- time's up
I am hopeful, by-then, I won't have covid-19
And so I'll read a book
or watch a good mov-ie
I'll add some toilet paper to my gallery
I'll read the news and sit
And nap and basically
Just wonder when will my school op-ennn
Then after lunch it's YOUtube, tick-tock, facetiming
Videogames, a bit of boxing and chess
omg, news is killing me , I'm isolating
Then I'll stress, play some fetch, check for fever
Wear a dress!
And I'll go-FOR-a-walk
If I have time to spare
I'll watch the stocks drop more
I'm sure the bot--tom's near
And then I'll scrub and wash
And scrub and wash my hands
Stuck in my house for this quarantine
And I'll watch Out-break, Contagion
While moaping and whining
When will my school op-ennn

​ENTRY #9 - "CORONA WANTS TO CATCH YOU"
("I Wanna Be Like You" - Disney's The Jungle Book)

Well it’s the king of the viruses
The Virus VIP
Coronas here,  so let’s be clear, keep yourself at home

Quarantine is how it goes
Boredom’s a real thing 
Wash your hands, don’t touch your face,
and spend some time alone 

oooo, Ooo, ooo Corona wants to catch  you oo oo 
Stay at home, talk on the phone, oo oo oo oo oo oo

Now that you have quarantined
 and the time is done,
 you are well and that is swell,  
Corona was no fun!

Ooo ooo ooo, it’s back to sch oo oo oo l,
​and finally our play can be done!

​ENTRY #10 - "STAND FAR AWAY"
("Build a Wall" - Shrek, the Musical)

I’m going to stand far away, 6 feet away
See you later friend, bye-bye 
No one's coming closer, so don't you even try 
6 feet away

I'm gonna stand far away, 6 feet away
What's the problem, am I not far enough 
Can't you see I'm trying, can't you see that at all 
Just leave me alone

I was told it wouldn't reach this point
I should've known, I should've guessed 
I thought that maybe it wouldn't 
Well now I know we're just like all the rest 

I'll do what they want 
I'll see what they say 
Hey world I'm doing what you say 
You're looking for some help, it's your lucky day 
I'll do what they want 

What a fool to think this wouldn't happen
I didn't prepare, I acted like normal 
They wanted precautions, they wanted things to close 
How lucky both their wishes came true

Going to stay at home a perfect place to hide 
Hey you, stay on your side
The best way to stop it they say is to stay home
Going to stand far away 
Going to do what they say 
Going to stay at my home 
Going to stand far away

ENTRY #11 - "OMG YOU GUYS"
(Legally Blonde)

Oh my gosh oh my gosh you guys
This Coronavirus has us stuck inside
Every time I watch the news the numbers seem to rise and rise
Oh my gosh you guys

Now I wish for my fairytale,  instead of being stuck in this jail
Zoom chats with family,  messenger kids with friends
And sometimes email, oh my gosh you guys.

I wash my hands like 20 times a day 
Before and after we eat and even when we play 
I want this to be over soon so I can celebrate my birthday
oh my gosh you guys 

Oh my gosh oh my gosh you guys
this coronavirus has us stuck inside 
Every time I watch the news the numbers seem to rise and rise
oh my gosh you guys oh my gosh

​ENTRY #12 - "BOHEMIAN ALL-STAR"
("Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen)
("All-Star" - Smash Mouth)

(Bohemian Rhapsody)
Is this a dark time?
Nope it’s just quarantine.
Caught in a landslide just back up six feet from me.
Open your eyes now, social distance away from peeps
Don’t get the virus
Wash your hands because they are dirty.
No more paper on the roll
I’m not sure where to go, 
Anywhere my friends go, it doesn’t really matter to me...
Get away from me.

(All-Starr)
Somebody once told me to wash my hand slowly
​And keep my hands away from my face.
This social distancing is so annoying but needs to done to stop the spread.
Hey now you’re an all-star do you part now to stop the spread.
Get your quarantine on to hopefully see the end!

ENTRY #13 - "STUCK AT HOME"
("On My Own" - Les Miserables)

Stuck at home
Because school has been cancelled 
All done
While being quarantined 
In the past week 
I have not gone anywhere 
I cannot see my friends and this whole thing 
Has been a nightmare 

On my phone 
The internet is so slow
I just wish
This virus would plateau 
We wash our hands 
For more than twenty seconds 
Still it feels we’ll be stuck here forever and forever 

And I know the stores have empty shelves 
But we need more toilet paper and more hope
And I know we must fend for ourselves 
But still I pray that no one coughs

We’re so bored 
But COVID-19 is dangerous 
I wish it were gone
So we don’t have this virus 
Without school 
We’re stuck with Google Classroom 
I understand, it’s out of hand
We’ve even lost rehearsals 

We’re so bored
But everyday it’s growing 
More people 
Are getting infected 
Without it
The world would be so normal 
A world without Coronavirus 
Just like months ago

We’re so bored
We’re so bored 
We’re so bored 
But we’re still stuck at home 

ENTRY #14 - "QUARANTINE"
("World Burn" - Mean Girls)

My name is toilet paper, and right now i am huge deal
Why do people flush me down toilets
If i am so useful, why are you wasting me
I want to stay on the store, shelves
My name is toilet paper, I am in high demand
Hey people when im gone, how will ya like me
NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I wanna watch the world be, out of quarantine
I wanna stop being, taken off store shelves
I wanna watch the world be out, of quarantine
I wanna the world be out of quarantine
People watch your behind, try not waste me to much
Because when I run out, then who is laughing now
My name is toilet paper, and I help control thunder down under,
I may be lost soon but not before i end this tune,
I wanna watch the world be
“Out of quarantine”
Out of quarantine
“Quarantine”
I wanna watch the world be 
“Out of”

I Wanna watch the world be
“World be world be”

I WANNA WATCH THE WORLD BEEEEEEE 
“Out of quarantine”

ENTRY #15 - "STUCK AT HOME"
("Hard Knock Life" - Annie)

It’s a hard knock life, stuck at home
It’s a hard knock life, stuck at home

This life is so boring
Why is this even happening
It’s a hard knock life

We can’t even go to school
We’re stuck in our homes Quarantined

Family stead of friends
Life is boring stead of fun
It’s a hard knock life

Don’t it feel like we’re stuck in a storm 
Don’t it seem like there’s never anything to do
One day don’t you just want to scream
No friends are there for you to have a playdate

Your parents make you do chores
You’re stuck with the same people every day
And it just drives you insane AAAHHHHHHHH

Really boring life
No friends life
School at home life
Lasting forever life

Will the Easter bunny even come
I don’t know this might not stop

You can’t even see your cousins
When you’re at home Quarantined
It’s a hard knock life

“We’ll be at home, until there’s a cure, which will probably take forever!”

This is really annoying
This has better stop soon
When will this even stop
I need this to stop

It’s a hard knock life, Quarantined
It’s a hard knock life, Quarantined
I don’t like this happening
Can I scream right now

It’s a hard knock life
It’s a hard knock life
It’s… a… hard… knock… life! 

ENTRY #16 - "I WON'T BE LEAVING"
("Oozy Lumpa" - We Are Monsters)
​
There was a time 
Maybe a week ago
I thought I could go places
Like Emerald Mall 
Or a pizza place
But now I feel like I’m really stuck
It was a long time ago 
But now I’m quarantined!
I know I won’t be leaving 
Any time-this
Week

ENTRY #17 - "MY FAVORITE THINGS"
(The Sound of Music)
​
Facetiming with friends and sleeping in past eight
Dancing to music and staying up too late
Netflix and YouTube and TV bingeings
These are a few of my favorite things
Ipads and cellphones with plenty of power
Playing fun games at any old hour
Can’t wait to see what this Spring weather brings
These are a few of my favorite things
Working from home, all this family time
Store shelves are empty, love Amazon Prime
Teachers who send all these virtual learnings
These are a few of my favorite things
Ran out of TP
Hand sanitizer
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

ENTRY #18 - "WATCH SOME T.V."
("Under the Sea" - Disney's The Little Mermaid)
​
Verse 1: 
Hey Palm Beach looks really lovely,
 or even the great old Lakes. 
You dream about going down there,
 but that is a big mistake. 
Just look at the world around you, 
what would you want to be there,. 
such horrible things around us, 
this virus is in the air! 

Chorus: 
Watch some TV!
Covid 19! 
My dude it's better, 
Have home in a sweater, 
Take it from me! 
Out there the virus is on the Run, 
Stay with the fam and have some fun. 
No Barcelona, 
Don't spread Corona, 
Watch your TV!

Verse 2: 
On the beach you may be happy, 
As off through the waves you roll, 
But at home you won't be happy, 
You'll think that you have a cold.
 But then you will feel a slight chill, 
You're in for a worser fate.
You'll think back to sharing those drinks, 
Or eating off your friends plate!

Chorus 2: 
Watch some TV!
Covid 19! 
my dude it's better, 
have home in a sweater, 
take it from me! 
Out there the virus is on the Run, 
Stay with the fam and have some fun. 
Don’t go to shanghai 
Or chill with the guys
Watch your TV!

Extension: 
Watch some TV!
Covid 19! 
Just go to your house, 
Or to your frat house 
Naturally, 
Stay in your house like all of us, 
Don't you dare take that party bus. 
Stay in your dang house,
Don't be a plague Mouse! 
Watch the TV!

Bridge: 
You can read a book, 
new line or go for a walk,  
can learn something new, 
or play with some Chuck, 
put on running shoes, 
or go watch the news! 
And see what is going on! 
The world is a mess, 
the stock market sinks, 
stay out of the bars, 
just go home and drink! 
This is worse than SARS
 or aliens on Mars 
please stop raving at that rave!

Chorus 3: 
Covid 19. 
covid 19. 
Be responsible, 
Not in the hospital.
Do not test me!
Go talk to all your friends on Zoom, 
We know that it is the thing to do! 
Do the right thing here 
Cuomo agrees here. 
Watch some TV! 

Don't be a loser, 
stay off the Cruisers , 
covid 19! 

Each day we sit here 
Doing our thing here 
We making it safer 
Unlike spring breakers
So please kids come home
Into the safe zone
And watch TV! 

ENTRY #19 - "IT'S A WHOLE NEW LIFE"
("Hard Knock Life" - Annie - 2014 Film)
​
Its a whole new life for us
Its a whole new life for us
'Stead of hugs
We just elbow
'Stead of school we watch Netflix
Its a whole new life
Don't it feel like the world is gonna end.
Don't it seem like there's never any toilet paper!
Once a day, don't you wanna throw a roll in
It's easier to donate then to buy
Everyone care's if you sneeze and not cover
But no one cares if you fart and it stinks
Social distance life
Six feet apart life
School from home life
No toilet paper life
My Friends I never see
Best friends whats that?
Six Feet
Everyone cares for you to much when you just have a cough
Its a whole new life
Make my pantry full
But don't you touch my toilet paper!
Its a whole new life for us
Its a whole new life for us 
'Stead of hugs we just elbow
'Stead of school we watch Netflix
Its a whole new life for us
Its a whole new life for us
Everyone cares for you to much when you just  have a cough
Its a whole new life 
Its a whole new life

ENTRY #20 - "WE'RE OFF TO NOWHERE"
("We're Off to See the Wizard" - The Wizard of Oz)

​We're off to go nowhere,
cuz everything is closed.
Not here, nor there, not anywhere
cuz everything is closed.
I'd really like to go somewhere,
not here, nor there, just anywhere...
because because because because because...
because we're stuck inside our house.
We're off to go nowhere
​cuz everything is closed. 

ENTRY #21 - "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER"
(Disney's Frozen)

Nothing is open
Close that door
I have to use an online store
How could I just stay inside all day?

Though school has had its trials and all
From constantly staring at the wall
I never thought we’d have to leave this place

No more interacting with people
Not even one exchange
I never knew my family was this strange!

‘Cause for the first time in forever
I have to make food on my own
For the first time in forever
I will be totally alone

And sure, there’s FaceTime and Snapchat
But it’s different through the phone
‘Cause for the first time in forever
I’m stuck inside my home

I can’t wait to get back to school next week.
What do you mean three weeks?!

I guess I’ll be inside my room
Never waking up until the noon
Life just has a much more slower pace
I’m constantly tempted to go outside
The danger doesn’t seem applied
It’s not like this is something we will face 

I walked outside one evening 
And thought of traveling far
If only I knew how to use a car

For the first time in forever
There’s no magic, there’s no fun
For the first time in forever
I can’t hang out with anyone

And I know it’s totally selfish
To want to be with friends
But for the first time in forever
I need a family cleanse

Don’t let them in
Don’t let them see
Wash your hands every time you sneeze
Conceal, you’ll heal
Cover your nose
Stay in your house today and tomorrow 

It’s for a couple weeks
(It’s for a couple weeks)
My boredom’s at its peak
(my boredom’s at its peak)
You’re telling me it’s only been - one week?
(one week?)

For the first time in forever
(Don’t let them in, don’t let them see)
This is a nightmare coming true
(Wash your hands every single time you sneeze)
To say goodbye to those I knew
(conceal)
To say goodbye to you
(Conceal, you’ll heal, cover your nose)
I know it is almost over
But I don’t want to wait

‘Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
My skies are turning gray!

ENTRY #22 - "LAZY"
(Mean Girls)

Hi
​
If I could change the world
I'd make it no quarantine
Every single day
And also have world peace
Maybe world peace should be first
World peace and then no quarantine 
Wait, let me start over
 
Hi, if I could change the world
I'd make us have world peace
And also no quarantine
Every single day
 
With no quarantine
You can have a party and go outside
Without the internet
Only in person and maybe candy
 
When you are always inside
It's no fun at all
Looking like what you did yesterday
 
Woah-oh Woah-oh-oh
 
But we have the hope that
One day we can go 
Out into the open without
Any masks on
 
I can be, who I wanna be and lazy
I can be, who I wanna be and slow
 
Don't like who you are
Then have a great glow up
Rock a new and different lazy look
 
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh
 
Why be in those leggings
Just be in your sweats
And drop it to this slow and lazy hook
 
I can be, who I wanna be and lazy
I can be, who I wanna be and slow
 
Be more lethargic
Almost nothing but netflix
 
Stranger Things orArrow too
Or even some chick flicks
 
I give you Private Practice!
 
I can be, who I want to be
And lazy!

ENTRY #23 - "JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE FREE"
(Disney's The Lion King)

Corona is taking over, so all humans beware,
this stuff is so overwhelming that I can’t even bare,
what happens next I’m questioning
what happens to the stores,
all the toilet papers gone,
this thing is such a bore,
I hope someday I’ll be out of quarantine
oh I just can’t wait to be free!

No one saying no friends,
no one saying no activities,
no one saying no school,
Everyone saying wash your hands (now wash your hands)
free to go to school all day (which is kinda bad kinda good)
free to see my friends and play!

I think it’s time that scientists quickly find a cure,
but corona keeps fighting back and making it real hard!
If this is where the world is headed count me out,
out of service, out of Attleboro I wouldn’t give a doubt!
This disease is getting wildly out of wing!
Oh I just can’t wait to be free!

Everybody’s washing hands,
everybody’s wearing masks,
everybody’s being careful,
everybody’s staying clean! (hopefully)

Let every human go forth and sing
we hope we cut corona virus’s wings!
It’s time for this sickness to go!
Oh I just can’t wait to be free!
Oh I just can’t wait to be free!
​Oh I just can’t wait...just can’t wait......to be free!

​ENTRY #24 - "STOP"
(Mean Girls)

Ironically I need to scare you straight Because this is not how we stay safe 
We get these itches and we just can’t wait
But there is a crisis. 

You need to cough right
In the air
Cause you have no impulse control 
So before you cough sneeze, itch or god forbid, walk right past your sink-
Here is my advice...

Stop!
When you sense a sneeze and your hand goes right up to your nose to catch one-
Stop!
Grab a tissue and stop!

Stop!
When you just took a walk
And you don’t think you 
Need to wash all your fingers,
Stop!
Sing happy birth day and wash! (happy birthday to you)

I know it’s hard but try.
Don’t instantly hack right by.
My god girl it’s a global crisis! 
You really need to stop,
Stop !
You’re gonna spread the germs and then who’s gonna get the virus...

You’re grandma!

When you cough 
and you sneeze til you just can’t stop 
It keeps coming out like 
Real vomit!  Stop!
Stay home and stop!

Yes, we all get sick and ignore it sometimes. Damian, tell them about art camp-

At art camp, I played Lumiere 
And I quickly got the flu.
I’d run to practice hurling and coughing 
Not once, but thrice!
I talked and talked spreading my germs
And my co-star and I laughed all day
And during the show 
She hacked up a lung 
and she started to run off stage.

Cause no one told me to stay at home
And to cover my coughs,
Because you could spread 
The flu ‘cuz science 
Stop!

ENTRY #25 - "NOW THAT I'M IN QUARANTINE"
(Disney's Frozen)

Close the window, shut that door
Wash your hands then wash them more
Who knew we owned so many rolls of toilet paper

For years, I could go outside
Now I eat, or sleep, or cry
When will we be going back to school?

I can't talk to real live people
Facetime is totally strange
When was the last I showered or changed?

Cuz now that I'm in quarantine,
I've learned 100 digits of pi
Now that I'm in quarantine,
I sleep 12 hours a night

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy,
or if I'm some kind of freak
But now that I'm in quarantine,
I've gained 5 pounds this week

I've made bracelets, messed them up, then cried
Changed my room a billion times
Choir's cancelled and my show's postponed

I've whined, I've sulked and I've complained
Done origami to keep me sane
I wonder how much longer I'll be alone

Then I'll sing all day and evening
Drive my family insane
I'll sing so loud I can't hear them complain

Cuz now that I'm in quarantine,
there's no music, so no fun
Now that I'm in quarantine,
I've sang all 46 hamilton songs

I know I'm going crazy
but luckily so are you
Even though I'm stuck in quarantine 
you're stuck in it too!

ENTRY #26 - "QUARANTINED"
("Seventeen" from Heathers, the Musical)

Fine we’re damaged 
Really damaged
The whole country’s now shut down
We’re not special 
We’re not different 
Cuz the corona spreads around
Whole new normal
No more school days
Now we all just gotta hide
We’ll bake brownies 
Every day now
Cuz we’re locked up for three weeks 

Now we’re all quarantined 
Everyone’s scared when I sneeze
Friends won’t let me in
They said have you lost your mind

People suffer
With  carona 
And you’re right that really blows
But we sleep In
And eat to much
And go shop on amazon
We’ll play Uno
We’ll play chess too
And perhaps, some solitaire
Skipping prom night 
No state testing 
I’m not sure I really care

Now we’re all quarantined
Can’t hold hands keep six feet 
Friends won’t let me in
They said have you lost your mind

Now we’re all quarantined 
No ones allowed to breath
Bet you wish you had PPE
But hey the government says it’s fine

Yeah we’re damaged 
Badly damaged
But no schools easy to lose
So let’s keep pushing
Finish the year off
They say it’s not as bad as the flu

​ENTRY #27 - "DEAR KIND CORONAVIRUS"
("Gee, Officer Krupke" from West Side Story)

Dear, kind coronavirus,
you gotta understand
we had enough diseases
you got it out of hand
we didn't need Ebola
zika or triple E
COVID-19 we don't need your disease. 

Gee, coronavirus
we're very upset
we need to go to school
not get a pandemic
you postponed olympics
Broadway's in the dark 
deep down inside you are no good

You're no good!

You're no good, you're no good
There's no untapped good
A pandemic isn't any good

That's a touching good story
Lemme tell it to the world!
We've already infected the whole world!

This all began in Wigan
so how come it came here?
Even Tom Hank's infected
 oh please just disappear
we don't want to be dying
we're stuck inside instead
Leapin' Lizards, stop before we're dead.

Right! coronavirus
just please be aware
this world needs something good
not a really big scare
There aren't enough test kits,
or hospital beds
Not even T.P anywhere.

No Toilet Paper!

Need it now, need it now
Toilet Paper now
We all need toilet paper now!

Hear ye hear ye, in the opinion of COVID-19 people can't gather with anyone, they need to be special distancing!

Hey! I need special distancing!
So take him to quarantine. You!

Who me?

I cannot leave my family,
I've lost my sanity
Can't concentrate on school work
its even hard to sleep
I had to clean the basement
it really was a mess
Goodness, gracious you're making me upset! 

Yes, coronavirus
He shouldn't be here
this boy don't need his house
he needs to get out of here
COVID-19 played him a terrible trick
Even though he is not yet sick

I am sick!

We are sick, we are sick
We are sick, sick, sick
COVID-19's making us all sick!

In my opinion, this man doesn't need to be tested at all. What he has cannot BE COVID-19!

But I must have COVID-19!

So take him to another doctor!

Dear kindly mister doctor,
they said I'm doing fine
yet I must be infected
I'm feeling sick inside
Its not I have pneumonia
but its more than just a cold!
It's the virus, it clearly must be so!

Eek, coronaviris
you've  done it again
this boy does need a test
but I can't give it to him
It ain't just a question of misunderstood
deep down inside you're no good

You're no good!

You're no good, you're no good
you're no earthly good
the coronavirus is no good

You've closed down all travel
You've closed the NBA
we can't go to rehersal
Schools have gone away
Disney World is closing
and so is Disneyland!
Our whole society is dead

Gee, Coronavirus
we're down on our knees
this world needs something good
not yet another disease

Dear coronavirus
what are we to do?
Gee, Coronavirus
We're through!

ENTRY #28 - "I'M BORED"
("It Roars" from Mean Girls)
​
I’m 13 living in quarantine 
With my iPad and phone and stuff
But I’m 13, and it’s not enough.
I’m alone, i mean there’s mom and dad and our toilet paper reserve
But frankly, I’m now in my last nerve
Just trying to find ways to pass by all the time
Can’t visit my friends, and school work is online
I got no things exciting me
Like a fire just died in me
I try to FaceTime with my family 
But they’re ignoring me
Did you ever get a feeling
The whole wide world is stopping 
To stop this stupid virus
That people can’t endure
It’s a scary, scary feeling
But it’s running through my body 
And I’m bored
I’m bored

Mom: maybe we should do a virtual family game night 

Mom, I would love that! Let’s all try something new! 
We’re stuck in our house, what else are we supposed to do?
Got so much time to cry
There’s no new things to try
Maybe I’ll just say in my bedroom 
As my boredom multiplies 
Did you ever get a feeling
The whole wide world is stopping 
To stop this stupid virus
That people can’t endure
It’s not a very good feeling 
And it’s not exhilarating
Yet, it roars 
It roars
It roars

Okay, maybe it’s not that bad now
At least we have all these screens 
Plus, there are buds now on all the greens
It’s tough
Challenge accepted 
I’ll just huddle up with my pack
And now the virus can’t attack 
Gotta fight for the right to keep myself safe
Think everyone is feeling like me
But eventually 
It’ll be over
Be over
Did you ever get a feeling 
Everybody wants connection 
No, I can’t go see my friends
But I got the whole house to explore!
Cause I know you know this feeling 
And we all need that connection at our core 
You can’t ignore 
Roar

ENTRY #29 - "WASH YOUR HANDS"
("Little Girls" from Annie)
​
Wash your hands!
Wash your hands! 
You won't get the corona and DIE!
Wash your hands!
Wash your hands! 
The amount of people who have it is well, PI!
I wish this never happened in my life!!~
People just don't get it; IT'S GROSS!!
Well, life is tough,
Life is tough,
I am serious, I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!
Waasshh~ yourr~ haanndds!!~

ENTRY #30 - "QUARANTINE"
("Popular" from Wicked)
​
Whenever I see some who starts to cough and sneeze
And let’s face, lots of people now will cough and sneeze.
I start to worry about COVID-19
And when someone moves to touch their face
It's simply such a big disgrace
I know, I know exactly what they need
And even with this case
Though it's the toughest case we’ve yet to face
Don’t worry I’m determined to stay clean
Follow my lead
And yes indeed, we will be..
 
Quarantine!
We have to be quarantined
You’ll learn how to chat on Zoom
While you’re stuck in your room
All the ways to try to learn
Oh!
You’re not going anywhere 
So don’t fix your hair
No one here is judging you, when we’re..

Quarantined!
We have to be quarantined
You’ll learn how to wash your hands
(For twenty seconds) and
All the things you need to know
So let’s start

Cause we have an awfully long way to go
Don’t be all frightened by this new shelter-in-place
Think of how we all are helping save the human race
 Now that we've chosen to keep more than
Six feet in between us
Viruses can't reach us
That’s why we stay in

Quarantine!
We’re so bored in quarantine
We’ve tried playing family games
And we have high aims
But some always seems to cheat
*ahem* Ally
There’s nothing here we can do
While we're stuck in quarantine!

ENTRY #31 - "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER"
(Disney's Frozen)
​
You don't have to protect me I'm not afraid
Please don't shut me out again,
Please don't slam the door
You should keep your distance for right now
'Cause for the first time in forever
I finally understand
For the first time in forever
We can fix this, don’t touch my hand
We can quarantine together
You don't have to live in fear
'Cause for the first time in forever,
I’ll be 6ft away
Please go back to your own room, your life awaits
Go facetime your friends and close your door
Yeah, but -
I know
You mean well, but leave me be
Yes, I'm alone, but I won’t get sick 
Just stay away and you'll be safe from disease
Actually we're out
What do you mean we're out?
I get the feeling you don't know
What do I not know?
I just used the last roll of toilet paper
What?
We've kind of used every roll 
Every roll?
It's okay, we can just go to the store
No, we can't, we’ll get sick!
Sure we can! We can order online!
'Cause for the first time in forever,
Oh I'm such a fool, I should’ve bought more!
We can work this out together
The toilet paper will be sold out!
You don't have to be afraid
I can't go to the store
They’ll just restock the shelves
Ohhhh, please, that'll only make it worse!
Don't panic
There's so many people
We can just order online
Who also need toilet paper
We can face this thing together
Oh!
We can just get the store’s number
AHHHHH...
And everything will be alright...
I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT


ENTRY #32 - "IT'S A LOCKED UP LIFE"
("Hard Knock Life" from Annie)
​
It’s a hard knock life for us
We are stuck inside this house

Instead of play-dates, I have chores
Instead of recess, I get bored

It’s a locked up life!

Got no sports to speak of so
All we have is HBO

No more playgrounds, they are closed
Eating out is a no-no-no

It’s a locked up life!

Don’t it feel like we’re staying home forever
It seems like it’s never goin’ end

Actors need a set and stage before them
This confinement  I do not recommend!

Sadly now, we never see
All our friends at TYT

It’s a dark and lonely scene
When you’re in a quarantine!

IT’S A LOCKED UP LIFE!!

ENTRY #33 - "IT'S A COVID LIFE"
("Hard Knock Life" from Annie)
​
It's a covid life for us! 
It’s a covid life for us! 
Steada teachers we’ve got mom, 
Steada wellness we stay calm! 
It's a covid life!

Don't it feel like I wore pajamas all day? 
Don't It feel like we’ll never see our friends?
Once a day don't you want to go to practice?
Won’t this covid stuff please come to an end!

Empty toilet paper roll!
Every morning cereal bowl... 
Homeschool sure takes a toll! 
Can't be good for my ‘lil soul!

Mr. Boles we never see...
Mr. Boles who's that? Who’s he?

Everyone cares for you a lot,
When your in the house too much,
It's a covid life for us!     
It’s a covid life for us!
 
Steada principles we’ve got dad,
Oh no! This is really bad!     
Why’s our mom in workout clothes all day?
Why’s our dad on non stop conference calls?
Why am I sleeping with my sister each night?
Why are the chore lists never very small?

It’s a covid life for us!  

ENTRY #34 - "LOCK DOWN TANGO"
("Cell Block Tango" from Chicago)
​
Cough 
Temp
Sneeze
Uh oh
Tiredness
Chills

We had it coming
We had it coming
Here comes another pandemic
If you’d have been there
If you’d have seen it
You would buy all the toilet paper too

Cough
Temp
Sneeze
Uh oh
Tiredness
Chills

​We had it coming
Stay in your houses
No school for what like five more weeks?
6 feet apart now
Hand sanitizer!
No one knows when the show will go on!

ENTRY #35 - "DON'T CRY FOR ME, QUARANTINA"
("Don't Cry for Me, Argentine" from Evita)
​
"It's pretty easy, you'll think I'm strange
When I try to explain how I feel 
that after ten days I'm still having fun.

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl who likes school
But now she never goes outside
And stuck with her lame family too.

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't spend all my life sad and blue
Looking out of the window, wanting some sun.

So I chose screen time
Sitting around, reading some books too
And it never got boring at all
I really expected it to.

Don't cry for me Quarantina
The truth is I'm doing ok
Instead of school days
I'm in my PJs
I kept my promise
I social distanced.

And as for theatre, and as for school
I never really missed them
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired 

They are illusions
They are not as much fun as they seemed to be 
The answer was here all the time
I have books and I have my TV

Don't cry for me Quarantina

Don't cry for me Quarantina 
The truth is I'm doing ok
Instead of school days
I'm in my PJs
I kept my promise
I social distanced.

Have I said too much?"
