[Verse 1]

It came from a pangolin, or a bat

Or escaped from a Chinese lab

Spread like gas through all of Wuhan

They should've caught it sooner

We were told it would be contained

Just a flu, but a nasty strain

They're Chinese, and we're not the same

And it's never gonna come here, but...

[Chorus]

Ooh, it's keeping us in

Lockdown!

(Lockdown corona!)

Ooh-wee! It's keeping us in!

Lockdown corona!

(Lockdown corona!)

[Verse 2]

The nightly news, the daily toll

We fill up on toilet rolls

Boris got a big dose up his nose

We thought he was a gonner

Captain Tom, into the breech

Trump eyes a cure in a drink of bleach

Southern states still went to the beach

And protestin' all over, but...

[Chorus]

Ooh, it's keeping us in

Lockdown!

(Lockdown corona!)

Ooh-wee! It's keeping us in!

Lockdown corona!

(Lockdown corona!)

[Bridge]

And every Thursday night

We clap our hands for the NHS (oooh)

Remembering the work they do! (oooh)

The risks they take (oooh)

It's just a shame to say that it took so long (oooh)

For gowns and tests

[Verse 3]

Supermarkets' empty shelves

Thousands dying by themselves

Every death, every personal Hell

Just turned into data

They wanna talk of corners turned

Flattened peaks and lessons learned

But everyday the virus still returns

We'll beat it sooner or later (sooner or later!)

But...

[Chorus]

Ooh, it's keeping us in

Lockdown!

(Lockdown corona!)

Ooh-wee! It's keeping us in!

Lockdown!

(Lockdown corona!)

Ooh, it's keeping us in

Lockdown!

(Lockdown corona!)

Ooh-wee! It's keeping us in!

Lockdown corona!

(Lockdown corona!)
