“Isolation Blues” — a song to make you laugh during a crisis

I got the idea a couple days ago.

Yesterday I felt compelled to sit down and write the lyrics. They came pretty quickly.

A few hours later I set up a mic and camera in my home office. The fourth take was a keeper.

I hope my original song “Isolation Blues” brings a smile to your face and makes you laugh during this time of crisis.

Lyrics below. Please clap, like, and share. Let’s spread some laughter and joy!

“The Isolation Blues”

By Bob Baker © 2020 — All rights reserved

Lost count of the hours, lost count of the days
Not been outside, or seen the sun’s rays
During this crisis, I’m staying at home
Trying to get used to being all alone
I know it could be worse
At least I’m not on a cruise (it’s true)
But there’s no doubt about it
I’ve got the isolation blues

Snuggle every night, with my iPhone
52 hours of, Game of Thrones
Cooped up in this house, don’t know what day it is
All I can say is, thank God I don’t have kids!
Every morning, I hit the infinite snooze (I do)
There’s no doubt about it baby
I’ve got the isolation blues

Went out to the store once
Let me make one thing clear (right here)
I have no toilet paper
But I have plenty of beer (oh my dear)

Now day 27, of this quarantine
I’m feeling frisky, looking lean
Maybe this thing, is not so bad
It could be the best time I’ve ever had
I’m so excited baby
Now I’m spreading the news (it’s true)
There’s no doubt about it
I love the isolation blues
