Based on "Hesitation Blues", a song of disputed origin but made famous initially by the Reverend Gary Davis.

 

I’m drawing Old Age Pension

I’m over sixty eight

Can’t cope with all this tension

I’m waiting for my date

How long do I have to wait?

When’s my Covid jab a-coming?

How long till I vaccinate?

 

The Government require us

To stay at home alone

I’m sick of Covid virus

I’ve put on half a stone

How long……

 

And when I have my mask on

Wearing glasses sucks

The girls are disappointed

They can’t see my good looks

How long…..

 

I’ll take me turn in queueing

I’ll take my turn in line

But why have they had you in

When I’m nearly sixty nine

How long…..

 

I wrote this verse in rhythm

I wrote this verse in rhyme

I’d sing another chorus

But I haven’t got the time.
