Twenty-freakin’-twenty, you’ve been quite a year;
We can’t go out to see live shows.
But for a moment in time, we can play pretend
With an experiment. Let’s see how this goes…
We’re singing along on Zoom
Like we’re in a single room,
And as we face certain doom,
We’re singing along on Zoom.
Now more than ever, as we’re in the new normal,
Says every corporation, school, government department, and non profit-institute.
In this difficult times; these challenging times; unprecedented times,
We’re all in this together, so unmute!
(Call-and-response unmute, yeah!)
We’re singing along on Zoom
Like we’re in a single room,
And as we face certain doom,
We’re singing along on Zoom.
Nine to five is still nine to five,
But you stare at your own face until you are dead inside.
Virtual happy hour ’til your phone loses power,
Then you hug your loofah on a stick, weeping in the shower.
Zoom with your family will never be easy:
Your cousin’s on the move; his camerawork makes you queasy.
Your grandma always has connection difficul-teezy…
We’re clapping along on Zoom
(We’re trynna clap along on Zoom but it’s hard, yeah!)
Like we’re in a single room,
(We’re in a single room; we can’t leave; we can’t get out!)
And as we face certain doom,
(We’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, you’re probably gonna die, yeah!)
We’re singing along on Zoom.
(We’re really singin’, we’re really really singin’ singin’ singin’ yeah.)
Big finish!
We’re singing along on…
Zoom!
