Our Shot: A COVID-19 Hamilton Parody

Dr. Fauci continues his COVID-19 vaccination campaign in this parody of Hamilton's "My Shot."
LYRICS:
DR. FAUCI:
We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hey yo, I’m just like our nation.
I’m craving a vacation.
So we’re not throwing away our shot!
I am on a vaccination endeavor.
It’s only been a year I hear, but it feels like forever.
The problem now’s the delta variant is very clever.
We need to heed and read all the facts.
Don’t be anti-vax. Let’s be better.
Cause it’s time to take a leap and put this sh** to sleep.
You are not sheep if you get vaccinated.
It’s just how we keep our family safe!
Get your uncs and aunts in.
It’s only one shot if they get Johnson & Johnson.
Anybody feeling hesitation get your education.
Don’t be trapped in trepidation.
Go snatch a vaccination.
The bet is we’ll get this herd immunity
From Pfizer and Moderna, the vaccination OG.
So mister C-O-V-I-D nineteen meet mRNA vaccine.
It’s like a gene. It’s no antihistamine.
It’s just chilling, germ killing like it’s listerine or Mr. Clean.
So keel over, kiss the ring.
You don’t bar out the star on the silver screen,
Especially when it was achieved unprecedentedly.
You ask how anyone can trust experimenters.
Gee, enter me with facts evidentiary.
Know who’s vaxxed? Oprah, the President, and me.
It protects us at ninety plus percent, ya see?
Essentially, it saves a life eventually.
So we are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
We lower hospitalizations with masks and vaccinations.
So we’re not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like our nation.
I'm craving a vacation.
So we’re not throwing away our shot!
It's time to take a shot!
I dream of life’s return to sanity,
Of more intellect and less Hannity.
Profanity, vanity swapped for urbanity.
A widespread vaccine can save humanity.
It’s our shot!
And if you feel apprehensive,
It’s all good, understood, but don’t get defensive.
Believing there’s a bad shot? Well, that I support.
Got my first hand report. It’s called a shot of Malort.
I'm gonna take a shot!
But trust me, I ain’t delirious!
For real now! Set the jokes aside. This is serious.
Do or die. Who am I?
Judas Iscariot? We can bury it.
We can beat this delta variant.
GENIUSES:
We don’t need a shot!
DR. FAUCI:
Geniuses, lower your voices.
There’s three healthy options. You got plenty of choices.
I hear you, but the situation is fraught.
You thought I was just a crackpot, but I’m not.
You gotta get a shot!
So, check what I got.
We kill corona, grab beers, and find a beach that’s hot.
Man, that would hit the spot.
Bezos can bring his yacht!
But it’s for naught if we’re dead from this infection we caught.
What are the odds the gods create a plague on our plot
Stopped by a shot that we got, which we decline and boycott.
Promoting death and insurrection and infection your objection is.
There’s no resurrection. This is what natural selection is!
Oh, am I being highbrow?
See there’s this little, ol’ pandemic, but hey…anyhow…
I never had to backup facts before.
It’s safe. To you, I give my vow.
So please get vaccinated right now!
We are not throwing away our shot!
We are not throwing away our shot!
Hey yo, I'm just like our nation.
I'm craving a vacation.
So we’re not throwing away our
Not throwing away our shot!
