Corona corona it’s a beastly virus
Corona corona it spreads all around us
Corona corona in the park and the cinema
Corona corona in the school and the nail bar
Corona corona in the zoo
Corona corona empty pew
Corona corona makes me feel sick
Corona corona makes my tummy tock and tick
Corona corona fills my mind
Corona corona can it be defined?
Corona corona creeps into your shelter
Corona corona jumps from your saliva
Corona corona makes lockdown come in
Corona corona knocks fun in the bin
Corona corona check on your neighbour
Corona corona get hand sanitiser
Corona corona hair dressing at home
Corona corona remote learning alone
Corona corona a hundred toilet rolls
Corona corona daily polls
Corona corona playing with sister
Corona corona I’m a part time jester
Corona corona making perfume
Corona corona getting a loom
Corona corona lockdown Birthday
Corona corona I wish it’s over.
