Topic: Song I wrote - Stay Home(just a little bit longer)

So this morning I was playing the Bob Willis song Stay All Night,Stay A Little Longer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lB3ITE55Sw       and I started putting my own words in.
This what I came up with. (I would love it if Mojo used his Texas drawl to cover it - I think it would come out great ! (hint,hint, nudge,nudge  smile  ) or for that matter - anyone else !!!  - I suck at playing or singing as you all know so any help would be appreciated .

Stay Home (just a little bit longer) By Jim Kenyon


[G]Covid 19 ‘s got me quarantined


I’m [D]‘bout half crazy, if you [G]know what I mean


[G] Stuck inside with no place to go


[D] How long’s it lasts, I [G] do not know




.




Chorus


[G]Stay inside, stay a little longer


[D]What doesn’t kill us [G]makes us stronger


[G]Keep your shoes and coats in the corner


[D] Please stay at home, just a [G]little bit longer


.






[G]Oh stay at home, save some lives


[D] Keep on waiting for [G]masks to arrive


[G]Keep your distance in every room


Use [D]go to meeting or [G] join on Zoom


.






[G]Watch TV or read a good book


[D]Think of something [G]new to cook


[G]Wash your hands and scrub them good


[D]Kill those germs from the [G]neighborhood


.




Chorus


[G]Stay inside, stay a little longer


[D]What doesn’t kill us [G]makes us stronger


[G]Keep your shoes and coats in the corner


[D] Please stay at home, just a [G]little bit longer


.







[G]Stay inside, we’ll all be safer


[D]But please check in [G]on your neighbor


[G]Everyone needs a little kindness


[D]We’ll all be glad when [G]it's behind us


.




Chorus


[G]Stay inside, stay a little longer


[D]What doesn’t kill us [G]makes us stronger


[G]Keep your shoes and coats in the corner


[D] Please stay at home, just a [G]little bit longer


.






[G]It’s been a burden no heart should bear


[D]Thanks to parents for [G]all their care


[G]Thank every Doctor, and every Nurse


[D]Without their bravery, it’d [G] be much worse


.






[G]Though his world seems out of order


[D]knowthere’s hope 'round [G]every corner


[G]Keep your spirit, keep your smile


[D]we’ll be together [G]in a little while


.




Chorus


[G]Stay inside, stay a little longer


[D]What doesn’t kill us [G]makes us stronger


[G]Keep your shoes and coats in the corner


[D] Please stay at home, just a [G]little bit longer

Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
