Nanci – if you’re reading this, I think Social Distance would be perfect for you!

I hope Nanci Griffith agrees to sing my version of her big hit, I promise not to charge her too much,

Social distance – the rules are very clear
It’s a thing we all must do.
Social distance- means you just don’t get near
Stay apart by metres, two.
Social distance – is great for avoiding those
People you don’t want to meet
It’s an easy ruse, it’s a great excuse,
It’s two metres or six feet.

Social distance – means every pub is shut
And no chance of a pint
Social distance – you miss the bar talk but
It’s a chance to drink more wine
Social distance – online ordering
And deliveries to your door
With a Merlot or
Maybe a Pinot Noir
Two of each or maybe four.

Guards are watching us, guards are watching us, guards are watching us – social distance.

Social distance – the queue at Lidl is
Making sure to do it right
Social distance – I’m sure does not apply
When you’re in your bed at night.
Social distance now has me thinking that
Simon Harris is okay
It is quite unreal, how that makes me feel
And I hope it goes away.

Guards are watching us, guards are watching us, guards are watching us – social distance.
