The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock,

Time Elapse, Life Collapse,

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.

Working from home? You’re having a laugh!

Nothing’s changed for your other half.

Sucking on a Bic in your PJ shorts

Looking out the window deep in thought.

Take a look at the Lockdown Clock.

“Where are you Sue? Did you make a brew?

Can I have a Hobnob? That’s just the job!”

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock,

Time Elapse, Life Collapse,

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.

Got a birthday coming up, how can that be?

Only last month I was 63!

I’ve totally missed out on New Year’s Eve,

A year of my life I can never retrieve.

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock,

Time Elapse, Life Collapse,

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.

DIY for a no-skill guy

Never mind, gotta give it a try.

Painting the wall, like a colour-blind fool.

Playing Scrabble and Give us a Clue,

Just trying to find stuff to do,

Brain fade, emotional rage, energy levels down in the grave.

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock,

Time Elapse, Life Collapse,

The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.

We’re fighting back across the nation

Pinning our faith on inoculation,

Any day we’ll beat the bug

When we get protection from the Covid drug.

Then open up the pub and bar,

Take to the road in the old jam-jar.

Take in a show, if I’ve got the dough,

Meet the In-Laws and hear them moan,

See the kids and catch a game.

Soon enough things will be the same.

But then, The Lockdown Clock, Tick-Tock……..
