Randy Newman: Stay Away

Randy Newman wrote a song about social distancing, Stay Away Leave it to the master to write verses like this one:

Venus in sweatpants
That's who you are
And when this mess is over
I'll buy you a car
We'll drive that car
So fast and so far
All your stupid friends
Will be left behind
