Jimmy Performs “Starting to Crack” (The Tonight Show: At Home Edition)

Jimmy Fallon: “Starting to Crack!”

Jimmy Fallon took a break from his lockdown-induced breakdown (we assume!) to put together this fun song which describes what life is like while shut in at home for Covid-19.

Jimmy sings a song about beginning to lose it after several weeks of homeschooling, Zoom chats and showers while social distancing to help combat the spread of COVID-19.

Jimmy is starting to crack… just like the rest of us 🙂 – and you can tell we are, because we only went and transcribed the lyrics for you #Losers

The Lyrics

I'm starting to crack, I'm starting to crack
Will I ever get my old life back?
I don't need another snack, I'm just starting to crack

Woke up, showered, brushed my teeth
I got dressed, had something to eat
Got undressed and took another shower
Cleaned the floors until they sparkled
read the Wikipedia for Meghan Markle
Then I looked at Tik-Tok for 7 hours

I'm starting to crack, I'm starting to crack
Will I ever get my old life back?
Feels like I'm going to snap, I'm just starting to crack

Can't figure out my daughter's math
Spent three hours taking a bath
Looked at the clock, it's 4pm
I'm on my third glass of wine by then
Rearranged my living room
called all my third cousins on the Zoom
Laughed too hard that my background's a beach
The Presidents telling me to shoot up bleach
Stare at the wall, like I'm in a trance
Put on a t-shirt, and wear it like pants
It totally works, you've gotta believe me
If you just stick your legs through the t-shirt's sleeve-y

I'm starting to crack, I'm starting to slip
For breakfast I had a bowl of chips
With Pepsi instead of milk, I'm starting to crack

I just thought milk rhymed with crack, 
and that Pepsi rhymed with milk
milk milk milk milk quack, I'm starting to crack
milk milk milk milk quack, I'm starting to crack
