Quarantine Version of Take A Chance on Me - originally sung by Abba

Quarantine Take a Chance on Me (Abba) - written March 31, 2020


If you’ve got some time
In this trying time,
Honey please hear me
Stay away from me
If you need me, that’s too bad
Stay away from me
If you’ve got no place to go
Stay away from me


If you’re all alone
Well, friend, we are all alone
And it’s best if ye
Stay away from me
Gonna do my very best
From my head to toes
I don’t want the COVID test
Poking up my nose


Stay away from me
That’s all I ask of you, mister
Stay away from me


We can’t go dancing
But we can go walking
As long as we’re far apart
Listen to some music
Maybe just talking
Sharing thoughts from our hearts


‘Cause you know I’ve got
So much that I wanna do
Don’t wanna lose it all because of NINETEEN
I wanna travel some day
Some place far away
But I think you know
Right now I can’t go


I’m a hermit now
You should be one, too
We’re in quarantine
Stay away from me
Wear your mask and I will, too
Gonna be at home
Wash your hands (who me? Yes, you!)
Don’t go out and roam


(musical interlude)


Stay away from me
Come on, give me a break, will you?
Stay away from me


(very long musical interlude unless you want to hear the whole song over again)


Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba, ba ba
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Gonna do my very best
To be virus-free
To not need that test
