Jolene Sings “Vaccine” to the Tune of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” to Dolly Parton Herself!
Dolly Parton donated $1 million to help develop a coronavirus vaccine.
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
I’m begging Dolly for just one inoculation
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
I’m sorry I used your man for copulation
Oh Dolly how was I to know
When I was just a little ho
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Now I’m down and racked with guilt
And you give money to Vanderbilt
And now I Just want some of your
Vaccine
Back in April when Covid hit
You were one of the few who gave a shit
And now thanks to you we have a shiny new
Vaccine
If only I had been much wiser
Like when Moderna beat out Pfizer
And it’s your dollars that funded all of this
Vaccine
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
I’m begging Dolly for just one inoculation
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
I’m sorry I stole your man for copulation
I’m sorry I caused you such neuroses
But if you could spare some doses
I’d really love to have some of that
Vaccine
I know you’re very busy lately
But I’d really appreciate it greatly
If you could forgive me and give me some
Vaccine
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
I’m begging Dolly for just one inoculation
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
I’m sorry I stole your man for copulation
Vaccine, Vaccine
BUT! Dolly Replies to Jolene Singing “Vaccine” With Her Own Rendition of “Vaccine” Sung to the Tune of Her Own “Jolene” And It is ON!
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
You told my man that I was just some hick
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
And now you need me so you don’t get sick
Oh Jolene I could foresee a
Diagnosis of gonorrhea
That you got from all his adultering
With my man you did interfere
And now at Wal-Mart you do cashier
That’s right bitch I helped fund the new
Vaccine
Back then you were such a whore
Now I bankroll Mr. Commodore
That’s right bitch I can almost taste this new
Vaccine
If only you had been more chaste
Then I wouldn’t have been disgraced
And I might have given you some of this
Vaccine
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
You told my man that I was just some hick
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
And now you need me so you don’t get sick
It’s really too late to apologize
And now you won’t get innoculized
Because I’m not going to give you my
Vaccine
And so this is goodbye, Jolene
I hope you enjoy your COVID-19
Because I just can’t spare one dose of my
Vaccine
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
You told my man that I was just some hick
Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine, Vaccine
And now you need me so you don’t get sick
Vaccine, Vaccine
