Matching Tie and Facemask

One of the first songs I wrote after the pandemic started, as may be inferred from the subject matter…

Words and music by Joseph Abbott

When I go out to the grocery store
I’m the sharpest-dressed man there
I don’t catch the coronavirus
But I always catch a stare

I got a matching tie and face mask
I got a matching tie and face mask
I got a matching tie and face mask
Oh, yeah

I’m the cosplay king, I got crazy mask skills
I make ‘em and donate ‘em to the clinics for thrills
I always wash my hands just like the doctor prescribes
So when they see me coming I just shed cool vibes

In my matching tie and face mask
Yeah, my matching tie and face mask
Oh, my matching tie and face mask
Oh, yeah

Well now, the minute she saw me, she wanted to play
She sent me a text from ten whole feet away
She’s got a Singer serger and she knows how to use it
I got a good thing going now, I don’t want to lose it

She’s got a matching dress and face mask
Now we’re Zooming all night
A matching dress and face mask
We online hug so tight
A matching dress and face mask
Trading sewing tips all day
Oh, yeah

And we sew so long…
