The Workers of the NHS Are doing their very best.
Washing your hands, they would say, so, do that every single day.
Social workers make their calls, Just surrounded by blank walls
Helping people with mental trouble, Telling their client to have a personal bubble.
People in shops working hours and hours,
Stopping people coming in in showers Outside you must wait 6 feet apart,
Key workers are working hard with such big hearts.
Bus drivers are driving up and down
And around and around and into town They clean chairs and floors
Remember to use the back doors.
Key workers are the actual heroes’ Shop workers are stacking up, cheerios.
So do a favour stay inside So, the coronavirus doesn’t abide.
