From the recording Kissin' in the Quarantine
We all could use a laugh these days, and O'hAnleigh serves one up as a vintage ode to the dancin' and romancin' everyone is missing in the pandemic!
Lyrics
Kissing in the Quarantine (c) Hanley Hill 2020
Who are you kissing the quarantine
She’s got the brightest eyes that you’ve ever seen
She’s got you in a fevah, just because she’s near yah,
Kissing in the quarantine
Who are you kissing in the quarantine
Masked balls are the fashion in the South of Spain
Dancing with a beauty but I can’t hear her name
I’d keep my social distance, but I got no resistance,
Dancing in the quarantine
Are you still dancing in the quarantine
I took him to a sidewalk cafe in gay Paree
Thinking I could get him to flash a smile at me
when the garcon popped the flask, he stuck a straw under his mask, (pop sound, slurp sound)
Drinking in the quarantine
What are you drinking in the quarantine
He took me to the theater in New York town
Thinking he could wrap his arms ‘round my evening gown
But when they started up the play, he found I sat six feet away (tape measure sound)
Cuddling in the quarantine
There is no cuddling in the quarantine
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE, Key change, Kazoo
He asked me if I’d like to share a glass of wine
I told him that sounded like a really swell time
But when I asked which was his room, he told me that he meant by Zoom
Dating in the quarantine
Nobody’s dating in the quarantine
Who are you kissing in the quarantine
She’s got the brightest eyes that you’ve ever seen
She’s got you in a fevah, just because she’s near yah,
Kissing in the quarantine
Who are you kissing in the quarantine
Who are you kissing in the quarantine
Who are you kissing in the quarantine
(end, and kiss sound)
