Don’t gather round people, just stay where you are,
You can go for a walk but you can’t take the car,
Except to go shopping, but don’t go too far,
For our life we are re-arranging!
You can’t have a drink in a pub or a bar,
For the times they are A-Changing!

The government suddenly brought in new rules,
But the police are taking us all for dumb fools,
And they’ve closed all the gyms and the parks and the pools,
For our life we are re-arranging!
But you can go into hardware shops and buy some tools,
For the times they are A-Changing!

I’m doing my calisthenics for my core,
And I’m raising my pelvis right up from the floor,
But when the bell rings I don’t open the door,
For our life we are re-arranging!
I’m going stir crazy - can’t take any more,
For the times they are A-Changing!

So now it’s gone global the virus is strong,
And we’re hoping that this lockdown won’t last too long,
Supporting each other - we’ve got to be strong,
For our life we are re-arranging!
And so just to help you I’ve written this song,
For the times they are A-Changing!

Apologies to Robert Zimmerman!
