Baby, There’s Covid Outside
[Verse 1: Lisa Schettner & Tyler Brooker]
I really can't stay
Baby, there’s covid outside
I've got to go away
Baby, there’s covid outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
Sanitize your hands, there might be germs
You really don’t need to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
I only need to pop to the store
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
But maybe just a gingersnap more
I'll put the oven on while I pour

[Verse 2: Lisa Schettner & Tyler Brooker]
Give me time to think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, was that a wink?
No masks to be seen out thеre
I wish I knew how
Your eyеs are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your mask, your face looks swell
I ought to go buy some dinner
Mind if I move in closer?
So it's time for me to cast you aside
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby, don't go out
Baby, there’s covid outside
[Interlude: Lisa Schettner & Tyler Brooker]
You're very pushy, you know
I'm just trying to protect you

[Verse 3: Lisa Schettner & Tyler Brooker]
I simply must go
Baby, there’s covid outside
I hope there’s some snow
But mainly there’s covid outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
So many people, they’re like a swarm
There’s no need to feel suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
Just let me go and unlock the door
Only if you know that you’re sure
Wow, you really are ambitious
Gosh, your lips are delicious
But maybe just another dance more
Never such a danger before

[Verse 4: Lisa Schettner & Tyler Brooker]
Do you mind if I ask
Baby, you'll freeze out there
If you can lend me your mask?
There’s too many people out there
You've really been grand
Put some gloves on your hands
But don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be news tomorrow
Think of my life-long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you got the virus and died
I really can't stay
You don’t have to go out
Baby there’s covid
Baby there’s covid outside
[Spoken Outro: Lisa Schettner & Tyler Brooker]
Okay, fine, I’ll stay
I’ll see if I can order a turkey from Amazon
