The King Is Come

Let me start with the antihero of this epic
Meet the king of the global pandemic
The king wears a crown -- that's how you know him
If he spoke Latin he would call it a corona
The king has a name derived from his genes
He's commonly known as COVID-19
The king is so small you won't see him 'round but
You'll know in two weeks if he's been to your town

You know that the king is coming for you
But you know there's one thing the king can't do
He can't jump a gap six feet in the air
If we all stay apart ain't no need to be scared

The king is come
Everybody be smart
The king is come
Get six feet apart
The king is come
Everybody take part
The king is come
Get six feet apart

Where did he come from? Where'd he begin?
A monkey or a bat or a pangolin
In the wet market the virus mutated
Met patient zero and the king was created
It seemed for a while that he might stay there but
While we looked there he was on his way here
How did he get here? Nobody knows
He musta hitched a ride on somebody's clothes

You know that the king is coming for you
But you know there's one thing the king can't do
He can't jump a gap six feet in the air
If we all stay apart ain't no need to be scared

The king is come
Everybody be smart
The king is come
Get six feet apart
The king is come
Everybody take part
The king is come
Get six feet apart
Six feet apart
Six feet apart
Six feet apart
Get six feet apart

Now we got him bad worse than the flu
He's comin' for me he's comin' for you
Shut it all down in the king's honor
Shelter in place or you might be a goner
I don't think our President has the first clue
But it seems like the Governor knows what to do
Don't let the king shake your nerves
We got to work together to flatten the curve

You know that the king is coming for you
But you know there's one thing the king can't do
He can't make a jump beyond six feet
Go to shake hands I'm a beat a retreat

The king is come
Everybody be smart
The king is come
Get six feet apart
The king is come
Everybody take part
The king is come
Get six feet apart
Six feet apart
Six feet apart
Six feet apart
Get six feet apart
