The Right Thing: Lyrics
There’s a new way of living, a new way of life
A new kind of learning to care
For ourselves and for others, sisters and brothers
Friends and neighbours out there
No shaking hands, elbow to elbow
Is how we say hello
Cough in your sleeve, the same when you sneeze
We all do it easily now we know
Look up lockdown
Heads up don’t frown
Stay cool stay calm
Do the right thing
Be wise exercise
Wash hands sanitise
Physically socially distancing
Why, you may ask, do some wear a mask?
How long will this last? Who can say?
Why so often washing hands here and there in other lands?
To help keep the virus away.
No shaking hands, elbow to elbow
To meet and greet a friend
From Sydney to Verona, Singapore to Barcelona
Waiting for Corona to end
To end … to end .. to end … and end and …
Look up lockdown
Heads up don’t frown
Stay cool stay calm
Do the right thing
Be wise exercise
Wash hands sanitise
Physically socially distancing
Look up lockdown
Heads up don’t frown
Stay cool stay calm
Do the right thing
Be wise exercise
Wash hands sanitise
Physically socially distancing
Look up lockdown
Heads up don’t frown
Stay cool stay calm
Do the right thing
… the right thing
… the right … thing.
