The Lyrics
Perhaps an update is in order.
Have yourself an isolated Christmas
Make your contact slight
From now on
our faces will be out of sight
Have yourself an isolated Christmas
Stay six feet apart
Do not shop until
You’ve sanitized your cart
Here we are in a COVID daze
In a lockdown phase for sure
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Live in fear of us, next door
Through the years
we used to be together
But that’s not allowed
The gov’nor says that
even two is now a crowd
So have yourself
An isolated Christmas now….
Faithful friends who were dear to us
“will be near to us no more” /1
Someday soon
We just might be together
If vaccines allow
Until then you’ll have to
disinfect somehow
And have yourself
An isolated Christmas … NOW!
Make your contact slight
From now on
our faces will be out of sight
Have yourself an isolated Christmas
Stay six feet apart
Do not shop until
You’ve sanitized your cart
Here we are in a COVID daze
In a lockdown phase for sure
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Live in fear of us, next door
Through the years
we used to be together
But that’s not allowed
The gov’nor says that
even two is now a crowd
So have yourself
An isolated Christmas now….
Faithful friends who were dear to us
“will be near to us no more” /1
Someday soon
We just might be together
If vaccines allow
Until then you’ll have to
disinfect somehow
And have yourself
An isolated Christmas … NOW!
/1 The quoted lyric was actually in the song as originally written by Hugh Martin, but was changed - along with the opening verse - at Judy Garland's request. See https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/mary-schmich/ct-met-have-yourself-a-merry-christmas-mary-schmich-20171215-story.html.

Ooh to dream of a time, when we can see a bunch of carolers in masks, coming to my door, and singing this song. They will be tipped graciously for the occasion. Well done Roger.
Terrific in all ways.
Fantastic!
