It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Lockdown - !!!NEW!!!

Had to be done really.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Lockdown not by Bing Crosby

It’s beginning to look a lot like lockdown
Everything is closed
We’re all looking to No. 10 - The PM’s delayed again
He means what he says but does he say what he means
Who knows?

It’s beginning to look a lot like lockdown
All our plans are gone
But there is still a chance in sight, if we all do it right
So we’ll carry on

It’s true it’s not a nice place and it’s such a disgrace
That we can’t all do as we please      
Limits imposed we all feel so enclosed
And not free to just take our ease 
(But) if we adhere the end is near for awful days like these

It’s beginning to look a lot like lockdown
Everything is closed
It isn’t that much to ask - Stay home or wear a mask
And wash your hands or else our chance
Is hosed

It’s beginning to look a lot like lockdown
(But) There’s no need to cry   
‘Cause there’s more than enough loo rolls
So please think of other souls
And don’t panic buy 

It’s beginning to look a lot like lockdown
All our plans are gone
But there is still a chance in sight, if we all do it right
So we’ll carry on
‘Cause, the lockdown is on

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Gridlock - !!!NEW!!!

Inspired to write this while looking out of my window between Christmas and New Year. Still applicable given the work commute is now resuming.


It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Gridlock not by Meredith Wilson
It’s beginning to look a lot like gridlock
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the M-2-5 – it's been clogged up since 5
With closed down lanes and no spare trains - oh no

It's beginning to look a lot like gridlock
Cars and trucks galore
And the one thing you want to see, is the roadway that will lead
To your own front door

A job that for you it pays at home just to stay
Is the wish you make now and then
You know that it’s silly but as it’s so chilly
You wish it again and again
‘Cause then you wouldn’t have to leave the house at oh-four-ten (04:10)

It's beginning to look a lot like gridlock
Everywhere you go
There's a queue on the next slip road, (‘cause) someone needed a tow
The pick-up truck’s caused this back-up, you know

It's beginning to look a lot like gridlock
Soon the honkings starts
And the thing that makes it complete, is the feeling it will repeat
When tomorrow starts

It's beginning to look a lot like gridlock
Soon the honkings starts
And the thing that makes it complete, is the feeling/knowing it will repeat
When tomorrow starts

It's beginning to look a lot like gridlock, gridlock, gridlock, gridlock, gridlock.
