A singer-songwriter from Texas has written what might be the first love ballad about coronavirus.

David Sikabwe, 22, is getting ready to self-quarantine as COVID-19 spreads across the US — and in his new song, the UT Austin student put a romantic spin on the predicament.

Since he shared the lovey-dovey tune online, 'Quarantine with Me' has been listened to over 170,000 times, with social media users both swooning and giggling at his clever lyrics.

Lil' ditty 'bout disease: UT Austin student David Sikabwe, 22, shared a song called 'Quarantine with Me' on social media

It begins: 'You can put your hand in mine, once you've washed it for the recommended 20 seconds' time'

David uploaded the song to YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram on March 15. In the clip, he sits under a blue blanket with a guitar, playing along as he sings the original song.

'You can put your hand in mine,' he begins. 'Once you've washed it for the recommended 20 seconds' time.'

He also gets in a bit of innuendo, suggesting that he and the person he is singing to get in bed alone, and he'll 'go beneath the covers and pretend like I am the Dow Jones

'We can shut the world outside,' he croons. 'It's crazy times, let's stay and hide.'

The song also covers social distancing, stocking up the fridge, and disinfecting, with the line: 'The smell of Lysol sets the mood.'

Other sweet lines include 'let's lock the door and toss the key' and 'three's a risk but two is company.'

David told Mashable that the song was just a 'random idea'.

'There are a lot of songs written about staying at home with someone you care about like "Nothing" by Bruno Major and "Do You Wanna Do Nothing with Me" by Lawrence. I figured that sentiment had a special significance with the looming specter of this disease,' he said.

'I'm quite proud of the "Dow Jones" line,' he added. 'I try to be pretty family friendly online and it's pretty raunchy, but I couldn't resist.'

Social media users particularly loved that line too, calling it out in Twitter comments. Others have complimented the song as 'catchy,' 'creative,' 'funny,' and 'brilliant.'

Full lyrics to 'Quarantine with Me' You can put your hand in mine Once you've washed it for the recommended 20 seconds' time We should listen to the to the CDC Do you wanna quarantine with me? You and me in bed alone I'll go beneath the covers and pretend like I am the Dow Jones The government should give us tests for free Do you want to quarantine with me? We can shut the world outside It's crazy times, let's stay and hide And keep our social distance We can stock our fridge with food The smell of Lysol sets the mood I wouldn't want to miss this After 14 days are done We'll walk outside and breath fresh air And lie beneath the golden sun For now, let's lock the door and toss the key Do you want to quarantine with me? Three's a risk but two is company (yeah) Do you want to quarantine with me? Advertisement
