will christmas be the same will the covid go
can we let our children play out in the snow
can  the carol singers. sing outside your door
will christmas be the same as it was before

can we hug our friends and our family
have a merry christmas like it used to be
will they lift the lockdown take the masks away
can families get together on a christmas day

why cant covid go away once again it wants to play
omicron to make it worse bringing back the covid curse
get the boosters  leave some space
where a mask upon your face

rules are here we must obey
keep your distance stay away
will they ever find a cure
or make more jabs cause there not sure

until then we must wait
let the covid decide our fate
hope that one day it will mend
get rid of covid in the end

rudolph the little reindeer could not pull his sleigh
poor chap caught covid and locked himself away
into isolation away from all the rest
for all the other reindeers thought it would be the best

santa got the doctor he came right away
told him in his stable little rudolph he must stay
rudolph he got better in a day or two
worry it was over he only had the flu

now rudolph he his happy that he could pull his sleigh
ready for the children to open christmas day
rudolph had his jab case  covid came his away
and inside his stable he wouldnt have to stay

covid on the mend though it will take a while
we can go outside wear once more a smile
freedom is returning not locked behind a door
shops begin to open we can shop once more

we can can meet our friends and our family
have a life again and normality
we must take it easy take day by day
then we can live again in the normal way
