This parody of 'Soon may the Wellerman come' turned up recently on the NZ Folk Song site.

THE NEEDLEMAN

I’ll tell you how this all began
A jungle virus in Wuhan
First it went from bat to man
Then round the world it flew.

The tourists flocked here, more and more,
And down on us the Covid bore
Jacinta roused her team and swore
To lay that virus low.

Soon may the Needleman come
An' vaccinate us one by one
One day when the Covid is gone
We can drop our masks and go . . .
FOR A COFFEE! YEAHHH!

The world’s upturned, so much disorder
We’re now locked down inside our border.
An' I've became a loo roll hoarder
'Cause I still have to go!

It's 40 weeks or even more
Since I kissed my sweet Elenore
The frustration's now at Level Four
We're ready to explode!

Soon may the Needleman come
An' vaccinate us one by one
One day when the Covid is gone
We can drop our masks and go...
AN’ MAKE LOVE AGAIN!

As far as I know, the fight’s still on
We still need masks, the bug’s not gone
The Needleman's not yet made his call
To jab our oldies, sick, and all.

Soon may the Needleman come
An' vaccinate us one by one
One day when the Covid is gone
We can drop our masks and go...
ANYWHERE WE WANT TO! YEAHHH!
