Lyrics
THIS OLD MAN KEY OF G
LISTEN NOW TO THIS OLD MAN
THERE'S A BATTLE CRY ACROSS OUR LAND
AGAINST AN ENEMY THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN
THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID 19
LISTEN NOW TO THIS OLD MAN
I KNOW IT'S CHANGED ALL OF OUR PLANS
SO WASH YOUR HANDS AND IN YOUR OWN DEFENSE
REMEMBER YOUR SOCIAL DISTANCE
LISTEN NOW TO THIS OLD MAN
THANK GOD FOR THE HEROES IN OUR LAND
DOCTORS, NURSES FIRST RESPONDERS ALL
ANSWERING THE NATION'S CALL
LISTEN NOW TO THIS OLD MAN
I'VE LOST SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS
I KNOW ITS HARD FOR YOU TO BE ALONE
BE SAFE BE STRONG BUT PLEASE STAY HOME
LISTEN NOW TO THIS OLD MAN
YOUR VERY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS
AND SAY A PRAYER FOR ME IF YOU CAN
'CAUSE I'D LIKE TO GO HOME AGAIN
LISTEN NOW TO THIS OLD MAN
WE CAN WIN THIS WAR ITS IN HIS HANDS
I WAS THERE WHEN WE STORMED THE BEACH AT NORMANDY
AND WE'LL DEFEAT COVID 19
