New Lyrics: "The Vaccination Tango" (Patreon)

Facebook friend Arwen Rosenbaum saw the new Randy Rainbow video before I did. It's "The Tango: Vaccine", a parody of "The Tango: Maureen" from RENT. She loved it, and tagged me in a post suggesting someone do a Tom Lehrer parody called "The Vaccination Tango".

Job done. This is revised from an earlier version I posted on FB, with the usual thanks to Anne for helping me make it funnier.

I ache for your spankings and smacks, dear,But much more for the touch of your... vax, dear.Give me that prick, and I won't get sick,As we dance to the Vaccination Tango.

Let our love be a shield, not a vector,Say that you'll be my covid protector.Swear that you’ll stay at least six feet awayAs we dance to the Vaccination Tango.

As Fauci planned,Before you, here I stand,My card is in my hand --(spoken) Couldn't you have made this credit card sized?-- right from the CDC.

One little poke,It's not because I'm woke,I just don't want to croak,The friggin’ shot is free.

Your heart is hard as Eastwood or Bronson,That's why I got my Johnson & Johnson.Moderna’s effect is like Pfizer’s, we checked --but there's no ivermectin when we tango.

You filled my nose...With a giant Q-Tip, love,I can still feel the drip, love,As my mucus does flow.

From my head to my toes,I’ve got few side effects, love,Though I hear that the next, love,Might for days lay me low.

Your eyes say that nothing is greaterThan not being on a ventilator.I’ll put on my mask, you need not even askAs we bask in the Vaccination Tango.

We’ll do this thingWith social distancingSummer, winter, fall, and springWith each new variant.

And now and then,A finger I'll extend,Check my blood oxygen,Is at least ninety percent.

Ignore anti-vaxxers and conservatives,Drinking urine or bleach or preservatives.We are not jerks, ‘cause we know science works,As we dance to the Vacci... nation Tango!
