Lyrics Quarantine Christmas - Emily Seibert

It's finally that time of year
For red and green and Christmas cheer
But this year's just a little strange
A 2020 virus change

Cancel all my Christmas carols
Wipe every surface until it's sterile
And that is just the start of things
Here is what the season brings

Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas yeah

Forget about the days of yore
Wear my facemask to the grocery store
Fight over a turkey with a six-foot pole
Lose, go home and eat the cookie dough roll
Trim my tree with soap and Lysol
Cover everything with alcohol
Tell Santa to keep his social distance
It's a Quarantine Christmas
Christmas
Quarantine
Christmas

Paint and prim my face and hair
Zoom call the family in my underwear
No need to hide the bottle of wine
I promise I swear I'm doing fine
You better watch out you better not cry
You regifted this from last year don't tell me a lie
While we wait and wish for snow
There won't be need for mistletoe
Hallmark movies all day long
Nobody to tell me what I'm doing is wrong
Yeah yeah yeah

Forget about the days of yore
Wear my facemask to the grocery store
Fight over a turkey with a six-foot pole
Lose, go home and eat the cookie dough roll
Trim my tree with soap and Lysol
Cover everything with alcohol
Tell Santa to keep his social distance
It's a Quarantine Christmas
Christmas
Quarantine
Christmas

Oh Santa baby don't you know I've been a good girl
But this year I'm not asking for pearls
Deck the halls with soap and Purell
Scrub a scrub a scrub a
Scrub a dub dub dub

Forget about the days of yore
Wear my facemask to the grocery store
Fight over a turkey with a six-foot pole
Lose, go home and eat the cookie dough roll
Trim my tree with soap and Lysol
Cover everything with alcohol
Tell Santa to keep his social distance
It's a Quarantine Christmas
Christmas
Quarantine
Christmas

So while we sit around the fire
And whisper of a world so dire
Protests, riots, lives are lost
Red and blue hate at all cost
When did we forget to care
To love thy neighbor and to share
When did we let fear decide
Different causes more divide
Oh, this Christmas, my wish
We could find the true meaning of all of this
Instead of working to make things better
We just throw on another Christmas sweater
