The Iowa COVID Waltz

Home in the midst of soybeans
The middle of the U.S.A.
We can’t leave ’cause of quarantine
So here’s where we’re goin’ to stay

[Chorus:]
Iowa, Iowa
The governor has so much gall
Stay away from me, I don’t want to see
COVID take every one of us all

We hospitalize our own, leave behind our young
Make light while the Hawkeyes play
Spreading disease, coughing up lungs
We hope that we see our next day

Iowa, Iowa
The governor has so much gall
Stay away from me, I don’t want to see
COVID take every one of us all
