lyrics
I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes,
Christmas is all around me…
I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes,
COVID is all around me, the dark feeling grows
It's spitten in the wind,
It's everywhere I go,
So if you really love me,
just wear a mask, ya know?
You know I value health I always will
My mind's made up, it’s the way that I feel
There was a start, There will be an end
I’m staying in when I can, on that you can depend
So many folks are selfish,
what am I to do?
Please try a little harder,
We’re all here, it’s not just you
You know I value health I always will
My mind's made up, it’s the way that I feel
There was a start, There will be an end
I’m staying in when I can, on that you can depend
I’m staying in when I can, on that you can depend
It's spitten in the wind,
It's everywhere I go,
So if you really love me,
just wear a mask, ya know?
