Zoombie Jamborie

A camp song for 2020. If you've never heard Zombie Jamborie, on which it's based, here's one of the many recordings.

Well, now, back to back, telly to telly,
well, I don't give a damn 'cause I've done three already,
back to back and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree
(Now hear the chorus)
back to back and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree

zoombie jamboree took place with an at home functionary (Why?)
zoombie jamboree took place to be revolutionary
zoombies from all parts of the island. (Where?)
Some of them are great calypsonians. (Some.)
Since the season was COVID time they got together in groups of nine.

Oh, what ya' doin'?
Well, now, back to back, telly to telly,
well, I don't give a damn 'cause I've done six already,
back to back and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree
(You can feel that)
back to back and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree

One zoombie's phone wouldn't behave
Her echo's a painful sonic wave
In the one hand she's holding a quart of wine,
  in the other she's pointing she can't hear mine
I says, "Oh, no, my turtle-dove, I think you've got a bug."
Well, believe me folks, I had to run. (Why?)
four hours of a zoombie ain't no fun! (Don't knock it!)

Oh, what you doin'?
Well, now, back to back, telly to telly, well,
I don't give a damn 'cause I've done ten already,
back to back and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree
(Oh, what a good game)
back to back and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree

Right then and there she chats her tweet
"I'm a-going to try again, my sweet
I'm gonna call again and then retry."
Then says "Ok, I'm back, you guys!"
"I may be lyin' but you should see (What?)
My slides on this here zoombie." (Blah!)
Well, I never seen those slides in Life, I
crashed my zoombie without WiFi? (Yes!)

Well, now, back to back, telly to telly, well,
I don't give a damn 'cause I've done scores already,
back to back, and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree (You're all alone, you know)
back to back, and telly to telly at the zoombie jamboree
