Transcript

Recently we’ve been hit by a virus
And its name is corona
What does it do? Makes it hard to breathe
Right now, there is no vaccine

Ooh, and now we’ve gotta stay alert
Stop it from getting worse
Ooh, it’s our responsibility
To stop it from exploding

So please just wash wash wash your hands
Don’t touch your eyes, your nose, your mouth
Social distance, avoid the crowds
Fight against the corona, corona

Practice good hygiene
And keep your personal space clean
Respect the social distancing
Fight against the corona, corona


Fight against the corona, corona

It’s like the flu, but it’s so much more cruel
And it’s super contagious
Yea, it’s tough, but we all play a part
We’ll prevent it together

Ooh, and now we’ve gotta stay alert
Stop it from getting worse
Ooh, it’s our responsibility
To stop it from exploding

So please just wash wash wash your hands
Don’t touch your eyes your nose your mouth
Social distance, avoid the crowds
Fight against the corona, corona

Practice good hygiene
And keep your personal space clean
Respect the social distancing
Fight against the corona, corona

Don’t matter asian, black, or white
The Corona is colour-blind
Together we can win the fight
Fight against the corona, corona


Stay ready today
And tomorrow will be okay
Together we can win the fight
Fight against the corona, corona
