OMICHROME

When I think back on all the crap I heard on TV

Although the lack of public health care still might kill me... 

It keeps getting harder to survive

OMICRON

We got the coronavirus

Then it mutates inside us

Makes you contagious though you feel OK,

oh no

I got a Pfizer vaccine

I even got a booster shot

But mama, I gave you Omicron today

Thinkin’ ’bout all the drugs I took when I was younger

All the herbal remedies and pills

But this new strain defeats my poor inoculation

And everything tastes worse if you can’t smell.

OMICRON

They got the coronavirus

But then it mutates inside us

Makes you contagious though you feel OK,

oh no

I got a Pfizer vaccine,

I even got a booster shot

But mama, I gave you Omicron today

(Mama, I gave you Omicron today

Mama, I gave you Omicron today

Mama, I gave you Omicron today)

Mama, I gave you Omicron

Mama, I gave you Omicron

Mama, I gave you Omicron today

Mama, I gave you Omicron

It’s not the gift you want to own

Mama, I gave you Omicron today........
