Isolation
Mr. Ben Lyrics

Isolation is the only thing for me
Mr. Ben prefers to be isolated from others as a precaution against the spread of disease.

Everyone should separate by six or seven feet
Maintaining physical distance is an effective way to prevent the spread of infection.

Stay off of the beaches and stay out of the streets
Avoiding crowded areas and public spaces reduces the risk of contact with infected individuals.

Only go into the stores for things you really need
Limiting trips to essential errands reduces exposure to potentially infected individuals.

I understand temptation, it's easy to be bored
Mr. Ben recognizes that staying isolated can be boring and challenging for some.

Try to be creative with activities indoors
Engaging in creative activities can make isolation more enjoyable and productive.

There's puzzles in the cupboard and crayons in the drawer
There are plenty of options for indoor activities that don't require leaving the house.

You could paint a spaceship or build a little fort
Getting creative with activities can be fun and rewarding.

You could start a sourdough or you could make kimchi
Engaging in cooking and culinary activities can be a fun and productive way to spend time in isolation.

How-many-different-dishes can you cook with kidney beans
Challenging oneself to come up with creative recipes using limited ingredients can be fun and rewarding.

You could hold a meeting and zoom a little group
Virtual meetings and gatherings can be a fun way to stay connected with others while staying isolated.

Supplement your exercise by curling cans of soup
It's important to stay physically active even while in isolation, and improvising with household items can be a fun way to do so.

You could view the movie you previously ignored
Isolation can be a good time to catch up on movies and TV shows that you haven't had time for before.

You could play the board game that you never have before
It's also a good opportunity to engage in activities that you haven't had time for before, like playing board games.

And if you need to be there, they shouldn't have to ask
If it's necessary to leave the house, it's important to take precautions like sanitizing hands and wearing a mask without being prompted.

Sanitize your hands and you'd better bring a mask
Taking precautions like hand sanitizing and wearing a mask can help prevent the spread of infection.

If you know somebody who's breaking all the rules
It's important to encourage others to follow guidelines and take precautions to prevent the spread of infection.

Going out in public with a bunch of other fools
Risky behavior like congregating in groups can increase the spread of infection.

Tell them to be serious we can't afford to cheat
Encouraging others to take guidelines seriously is crucial for preventing the spread of infection and avoiding further lockdowns.

The sooner we can shut it down the sooner we'll be free!
The sooner people follow guidelines and take precautions, the sooner we can resume normal activities.

We're all alone together so try not to be sad
Even though isolation can be challenging, it's important to remember that everyone is going through it together.

But that is still acceptable and so is being mad
It's understandable to feel a range of emotions while in isolation, including sadness and anger.

Once you've had a little, you should try and move along
It's important not to dwell on negative emotions and to find ways to move past them.

Give a little wiggle or sing a little song
Engaging in positive and fun activities like dancing and singing can help improve mood and morale during isolation.
