about

A rock song inspired by the coronavirus pandemic, the black plague, and the history of Mary Mallon (1869–1938), aka Typhoid Mary, an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever who infected dozens of people with the lethal disease until her eventual quarantine.

lyrics

Party's over
It's a shame
Cover your mouth
Don't touch your face
Wash your hands
Stay in place
Typhoid Mary's
Come to stay

Typhoid Mary's in the kitchen
Cooking us a fancy dinner
Typhoid Mary's so familiar
You can see her in the mirror

Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies

Stock your pantry
For a siege
Everything's cancelled
You'd best believe
Epidemic
Big black plague
Typhoid Mary's
Come to stay

Typhoid Mary's in the kitchen
Cooking us a fancy dinner
Typhoid Mary's so familiar
You can see her in the mirror


Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Time for lockdown
Quarantine
See you later
On my screen
We'll just play this
Waiting game
Typhoid Mary's
Come to stay

Typhoid Mary's in the kitchen
Cooking us a fancy dinner
Typhoid Mary's so familiar
You can see her in the mirror

Typhoid Mary's in the kitchen
Cooking us a fancy dinner
Typhoid Mary's so familiar
You can see her in the mirror
