Omichrome

Jamie (Irreverent Rhyme) told me that every time she heard "Omicron," she got Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" stuck in her head, so...

OMICHROME

When I think back on all the crap I heard on TV
It’s a wonder I am still alive
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........

If anyone is going to record this, I would request that you look directly into the camera as you enunciate the slant-rhyme "SMELL."
