I’m Boosted

Sung to the tune of « I’m busted » with apologies to Ray Charles and Harlan Howard

Let’s go out tonight and take in some sights, cause we’re boosted

It’s been a rough year, so gloomy and drear, but we’re boosted.

The CDC says, and the FDC too

If you don’t wanna die, then thing you must do

(And you might as well get the one for the flu)

Is get boosted

We haven’t been seen since 2019 but we’re boosted!

And I got my first shot in a big parking lot, and I’m boosted.

Then I got number two, and sighed a big « Phew! »

But Delta showed up with a big howdy-do

And Omicron’s here, what’s a human to do

But get boosted!

We’re free of the bug, so kiss this old mug, cause I’m boosted.

We don’t have to stay at least six feet away, since we’re boosted.

But don’t get too smug, it’s not over yet

We’ll never run out of more variant threats

And the booster will need (I’ll lay you a bet)

To get boosted!
