Goodbye My Lockdown | Sammy J S3 (ep17)

[@evilmonkeyboy87]

“It’s illegal to visit your mother-in-law” that one got me! Takes a comedian to really shine some light on the truth. Really good song!

[@BaselH]

Lyrics: Nights full of nothing, and empty weekends No pressure to see any family or friends Food gets delivered and left at your door It’s illegal to visit your mother in law We had it so good, but we flattened the curve Now we’re getting the punishment that we deserve So goodbye my lockdown, thanks for your time The all-day pyjamas, the afternoon wine It took a pandemic to finally see That the life of a hermit, that’s the life for me COVID is bad but I’ll tell you what’s worse Social occasions where you must converse With actual people in an actual room Who can actually smell you, not like on Zoom So goodbye my lockdown, goodbye my love Isolation and me yeah, we fit like a glove The sight of a calendar that’s totally clean It’s worth more to me than any vaccine The government says that it's safe now outside So I’ll put on some pants and I’ll swallow my pride But 60 billion's a pretty big hole Can I trust their advice if they can't cost the dough So maybe it’s safer to stay where I am Got enough toilet paper to last until Jan But if someone drops round for a casual chat I’m flying to Wuhan and eating a bat Yeah goodbye my lockdown, so long adieu When the second wave comes I'll be waiting for you Cause soon we'll return to the life that we knew Over committed and miserable too Say where are your shoes we’re gonna be late And spending all day doing things we hate Goodbye my lockdown, farewell my friend I’ll never finish a Jigsaw again It’s the time with my kids that I’ll never forget It’s the flexible hours, the sourdough bread Yeah, we flattened the curve and we got out of strife Just so we could be flattened by everyday life

[@samday6621]

Don’t worry Sammy, there’s no need to shave, with every pandemic, is a free second wave.

[@basinball1]

That truly resonated with me in all its wistful poignancy. I don’t wanna go back to the rat race.

[@HULKHOGAN1]

This was cathartic. We truly are overworked in this society as there's not enough time to 'live' our lives. We need 4 day working weeks with a maximum 5 hours/day. Thanks ABC

[@calmblueocean7243]

Yesssss! 😀✌

[@mariamkhursheed]

Just so we could be flattened by everyday life! You’re just too good!!!!

[@cloveravery85]

Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@kalliste01]

Finally something about the good sides of lockdown. I've wondered if I'm the only person who actually liked this time, but felt guilty saying so because it took a pandemic to make it happen.

[@bloominarty839]

Kalliste my feelings exactly. I was guilty and loving it.

[@cathharris4501]

I love it and I don't feel guilty! Never been so calm in my life :)

[@Kimsta]

My new anthem 😁❤

[@davidnorris166]

Amidst the powerful satire that Sammy always delivers, there is a poignant undercurrent of truth. Do we want to return to 'normal'? I'm not so sure.

[@GariSullivan]

That's what I love about this guy. He hits you were it hurts, but you laugh along anyway.

[@SaiSai-rs9hf]

Sammy J, you forgot your cup of tea! Hope it's not cold by the time you get back to the piano.

[@louisedavis8195]

Sai Sai yeah you need a good cup of tea hot

[@bayside_baller]

Australia's poet laureate

[@calmblueocean7243]

[@Keepmywifesnameoutyafucknmouth]

[@dexyzchat9822]

[@judymadge7347]

“Quod Bonum Tenete” Sammy J! We should hold on to Lockdown!

[@jennkwaan614]

Love this! haha so true!!

[@maryannew7526]

His best yet - love Sammy J

[@isaiah513623]

I am disappointed too that we have gone back to life. I enjoyed being a hermit & becoming obsessed with cooking videos LOL......And a very very funny song but hey there is hope. We just need to start a riot with a pending second wave LOL

[@carolelkins5021]

Very good, I liked it😀

[@oph31ia0]

I love this and I love you!! 💜💜💜

[@PiR803]

Can I have this as the theme song to my life?

[@suesherratt5479]

Fantastic - so true and so poignant. What a talent you are!

[@AriAzHandle]

☀ ..Go You Good Thing 💜

[@davidholland1124]

Pure Genius 👍

[@psbarrow]

Forgot your cuppa at the end.

[@feliciab2]

I am so glad I wasn't the only one who didn't mind iso. I felt so guilty hearing about how other people were struggling and things like suicide and domestic violence were increasing, and here I was hoping lockdown would last longer.

[@damienwalton383]

This song rocks. I have practiced the hermit life for a while know. Not by choice. But I think I see things for what it is. A long time before the carona the place I call home had changed. You see I'm a fruit picker born Australian I chose to do what I want to do. But I was sold out just like the Aussie youth who will experience the work that I ( we ) do. Basically every man that does not come from here gets the job and you are forced to do the hibernation thing. Aghh To enjoy the hermit sit in. Patiently waiting for inteigence it seems. 😎

[@alanwilson4208]

There are some people that can't be happy haha.

[@kimparking1]

Amen ….

[@Skittenmeow]

This is way too good. Move over Tim Minchin!

[@TheShamansQuestion]

Was just thinking this 😮

[@OriginalPiMan]

Both do great lyrics, but I think Minchin is the far better singer. I can't really judge which is better at piano from this simpler piece.

[@MarkfromPerth]

A good egg...no great egg!

[@oph31ia0]

Hello my 6 day S.A lockdown 👋🏻👋🏻

[@bcgibson22]

❤!!!!!!

[@michael0765]

Loved it... is that performed at the Enmore Theatre?

[@Turing2]

It is the Athenaeum Theatre on Collins St in Melbourne.

[@irenemeek722]

What an amazing talent u are Sammy! Freedom spirit ! I always thought so however you delivery then deliver then deliver some more.🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

[@leemsct6353]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@zorbahak11]

Amazballs!!

[@bloominarty839]

Ditto

[@TheShamansQuestion]

Was this based on any particular song? Or completely original? Either way, it's great!

[@OriginalPiMan]

The title reminded me of Goodbye My Lover, by James Blunt, but the songs are similar few ways. Maybe they would have been more similar if Sammy focused more on actually singing rather than just reading his well written words.

[@finallyfinally9317]

You spoke to soon

[@alisonjames3220]

Looking at the original post date and Victoria's current lockdown. Just wanted to say this aged well 🤣🤣🤣

[@permithurple3457]

i dont want it to go :(

[@green2stayecoswdmarketingn339]

"Your no fat lady singing ,that tells me it ain't over?...

[@slinkyboo-boo]

Love Sammyj. What theatre is this?

[@Nereosis16]

Looks like Enmore? But I am very likely incorrect.

[@calmblueocean7243]

It's great isn't it! I think it is the Athenaeum Theatre (think that's how you spell it!) In Melbourne. Hopefully someone else cam confirm this for us.... 😀

[@chrismcdonald2592]

Yes, its The Athenaeum in Melbourne

[@aaronpowell7608]

Anyone notice he forgot his coffee??

[@eilis5341]

gets so real at the end that its not funny anymore

[@bivoca]

Where's the puppet?

[@johayes7529]

I'm staying in lockdown in me PJ's. I hate stupid people who talk about nothing but conspiracy theories. And they're everywhere now!

[@gc1709]

I know! They are all over the news pushing crazy theories like lockdown and keeping the borders closed.
