This song is available on Pierce Freelon's Grammy nominated album Black to the Future.
When I’m with you
I feel like a Zombi
Can’t get to close
You don’t want no coughing/coffin
Afraid of my germs
I am not so scary
I can’t get close
I’m stuck at home
I feel alone
When I’m with you
I feel like a Zombi
I can’t get close
I got a disease
I gotta stay clean
I’m stuck in between
Gotta stay six feet
I gotta rock this beat
You go to say please
If you got to sneeze
I gotta peace
You ain’t getting no hugs
If you ain’t wearing no scrubs
(Chorus)
Every single day I’m just home and bored
Only place I can go is the grocery store
Stuck and I’m locked can’t touch no one
All I wanna do is just have some fun
When I’m with you
I feel like a Zombi
Can’t get to close
You don’t want no coughing/coffin
Afraid of my germs
I am not so scary
I can’t get close
I’m stuck at home
I feel alone
When I’m with you
I feel like a Zombi
I can’t get close
Stay at home - you betta
Wash your hands - or you’ll be
Quarantining in an ambulance - sick
Sickly skin - lurch
Lurching stomp - yuck
If you’re not careful than you will get chomped - yep
(Chorus)
I was so alone
Never left the home
Then I made a friend
We were Zombis together
Now we like to roam
Through the catacomb
And we can be Zombis forever
When I’m with you
I feel like a Zombi
Can’t get to close
You don’t want no coughing/coffin
Afraid of my germs
I am not so scary
I can’t get close
I’m stuck at home
I feel alone
When I’m with you
I feel like a Zombi
I can’t get close
I got a disease - sick
Sickly skin - lurch
Lurching stomp - yuck
If you’re not careful than you will get chomped - yep
