With my deepest apologies to Sid Wayne and Sherman Edwards, this is currently “The Happenings.”

September by the Blackstone

(I’ll be alone each and every night
While you’re away, we can Zoom or write)

(Bye-bye, this is our hell
Bye-bye, so wrong)

I won’t see you in September
I won’t see you when the summer’s through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Avoiding the crowd at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer staycation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is keeping you away (bye, baby, don’t cry)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the restaurants and the stores
I won’t see you in September
perhaps will see you nevermore

(counting the days while sequestered too)
(counting the hours ’til we both can Zoom)
No COVID, don’t die!
Stay healthy, please try
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Stay healthy, don’t die! (bye-bye, it’s hell)

Have a good time but remember
There is danger at the beaches and the bars
I won’t see you in September
Or even the backseat of my car

(I’ll be alone but I’ll think of you)
(Send me a text and a Tik Tok too)

I won’t see you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, stay well)
I’m hopin’ I’ll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
by December (bye-bye, so long, stay well)
Well, maybe I’ll
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
can’t remember (bye-bye, so long, stay well)
