Your House All Alone

A silly parody of They Might Be Giants' Birdhouse in Your Soul
by your friend Lex Friedman




I’m my only friend
I’m not my only friend
But I just never see my friends
Cuz really
I stay distant from my friends
And loved ones

Epidemic ‘cross the planet and so now I’m
Stuck here at home like you
Make sure you stay in your house all alone
Not to put too fine a point on it
Scrub your hands raw with bleach and then Comet
Make sure you stay in your house all alone

I have a secret to tell
I’m hoarding tons of Purell
I’ve started bathing in it
And it’s in my smoothies as well

So the world must listen to me
Slow the spread of Covid-19
If you’re infected with it
One note, pronounced quarantine

This lockdown’s infinite
Like feeling desperate
It doesn’t end

Epidemic ‘cross the planet and so now I’m
Stuck here at home like you
Make sure you stay in your house all alone
Not to put too fine a point on it
Don’t shake my hand; instead we’re just noddin’
Make sure you stay in your house all alone

I’m my only friend
I’m not my only friend
But I just never see my friends
Cuz really
I stay distant from my friends
And loved ones

When I order delivery
The driver can not touch me
He leaves food at the door
Which I won’t touch till quarter past three

Haven’t had a friend in my room
With the exception of FaceTime and zoom
I need more toilet paper
Someone ship some very soon

I’ve binge watched everything
I hate when people sing
On balconies

Epidemic ‘cross the planet and so now I’m
Stuck here at home like you
Make sure you stay in your house all alone
Not to put too fine a point on it
Stay far away from me if you’re coughin’
Make sure you stay in your house all alone

While you’re at it
Wash your hands for 20 seconds
While you’re stuck in your house all alone

Not to put too fine a point on it
Scrub your hands raw with bleach and then Comet
Make sure you stay in your house all alone

Epidemic ‘cross the planet and so now I’m
Stuck here at home like you
Make sure you stay in your house all alone
Not to put too fine a point on it
I sang this song while I was hand-washin’
Make sure you stay in your house all alone
