A new version of Wet Leg's "Chaise Longue," updated for the latest Covid-19 variant, Omicron
~lyrics~
Mommy, is it safe to go?
I went outside, Daddy he said "uh-oh"
All my friends thought it was done-NO
Went to Lake Woe-be-gone & got the Big O
I got the Big O
I got the Big O
I got the Big O
I went to the Lake & got the Big O

Did you get your booster?
Would you like us to assign someone to give you the booster?
Excuse me? (what)
Excuse me? (what)
Hey you, over there,
On the chaise longue with no mask on
What are you doing, you buffoon?
You will be horizontal soon

O me omicron, o me omicron
O me omicron, all day long, may this woe be gone

Is your mother worried?
Would you like us to ensure rapid testing for everyone
Excuse me? (what)
Excuse me? (what)
Hey you, in the front row
Did you get your test before the show
We thought this pandemic was going going gone
But now everybody's getting Omicron
