Was running some errands and this was playing on the Worcester public jazz station. Not this original version, but a good one.

Coronavirus, givin' you
The lullaby of Broadway
There are no shows you can go to
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of the subway train
Empty with no-one ridin'
Because of the virus strain
All folks at home are hidin'
If you step outdoors without a mask
You might well be arrested
If your job's not an essential task
Your furlough is requested
Good grief, baby
Good grief---you can't go shop freely
Listen, baby
Do you know where I can buy TP?

I love "Lullaby of Broadway," but it displays Busby Berkeley's misogyny to the fullest; as with "42nd Street," it concludes with a woman dying after falling from a great height.
