Update:
Back in 2020, when we were under COVID isolation restrictions, I posted a Bytes item about a song by the above title.
That post is reprinted below, but now that we are in much more severe lockdown restrictions, a clip is doing the rounds of Chris Franklin and a collection of Australian musos performing the number, each from home and each with a separate bit.
Thanks to Leo M for sending it to me.

lyrics
[Robert Emmett Kelly]
The whole world’s caught a virus, you’re not in this alone
But you can help to cure it, just stay the fuck at home
[Angry Anderson]
We’re all stuck here in in Quarantine it’s like the Twilight Zone
To save the world you only have to stay the fuck at home
[Everyone]
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
Don't you be a fucking dick [Chris Franklin]
Just stay the fuck at home
[Lizzy McKenzie]
If you’re locked down with your hubby or going it alone
Sisters need to teach their men stay the fuck at home
[Dave Gleeson]
Whether you’ve got 12 kids, or you’re living on your own
Shut it down and isolate Stay the fuck at home
[All]
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
Watch netflix, in your underwear [Chris Franklin]
Just stay the fuck at home
[Russell Morris]
But I need the gym and i need the beach we hear you bitch and moan
You need to grow a brain cell and stay the fuck at home
[Grug]
But i feel fine, i don’t feel sick I’ll go out on my own
How thick are you? You selfish prick just stay the fuck at home
[All]
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
Sit on the couch and do fuck all [Chris Franklin]
Just stay the fuck at home
[Kevin Bloody Wilson]
If you think you’re not at risk you’re living in a dome
Spreads faster than a hookers legs so stay the fuck at home
[Murray Cook]
To the doctors and the truckies those who put food on our plate
You keep the whole place running so we can isolate
[Everyone]
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
You can be a hero too [Chris Franklin]
Just stay the fuck at home
[Dave Larkin]
The only way to slow it down is isolate not roam
Help the world get back on track and stay the fuck at home
[Chris Franklin]
Sit on the couch and drink VB
Get shitfaced on your own
We don’t care what you’re doing there
Just stay the fuck at home
[Ella Hooper]
If you need to contact family use Facebook, Skype or Phone
Yeah we’ve got the fucking internet so stay the fuck at home
[Danny Marx Young]
From LA through to Berlin
From Wuhan through to Rome
There's people dying every day please stay the fuck at home
[Everyone]
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
Dont you be a fucking dick
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
Stay the fuck at home
Don't you be a fucking dick
And stay the fuck at home

Staying Home with Chris Franklin and Bib E Kelly
Australian YouTuber Chris Franklin wrote a poem of advice for the Covid-19 pandemic. If offended by the f word, don’t venture further. Franklin gave some sage, but salty, advice on how best to combat the spread of COVID-19. In the poem he finishes by saying that it could be a song and he sings the last two verses.
The next day muso Bob E Kelly did put it music, acknowledging that the lyrics came from Franklin. Kelly, who looks like The Great Randi, is also a magician but a musical one who hails from New Hampshire.
Both the original poem and the musical adaptation appear below.

Click on this link to hear and see Chris Franklin recite it:
Stay the Fuck at Home
The world has caught a virus
So I’ve written you a poem,
We’ll need your help to cure it
So stay the fuck at home.
Whether you’ve got twelve kids
Or you’re living on your own,
Lock it down and isolate
And stay the fuck at home.
If you think you’re not at risk here
You’re living in a dome,
It spreads faster than a hooker’s legs
So stay the fuck at home.
But I need the gym, I need the beach,
I hear you bitch and moan.
You need to grow a brain cell
And stay the fuck at home.
But I feel fine, I don’t feel sick,
I’ll go out on my own.
How thick are you, you selfish prick,
Just stay the fuck at home.
From LA through to Berlin
From Wuhan through to Rome,
There’s people dying every day
So stay the fuck at home.
If you need to contact family
Use Facebook, Skype or phone,
We’ve got the fucking internet
So stay the fuck at home.
This could even be a song . . .
(Sings)
The only way to slow it down
Is isolate, not roam.
Please help the world get back on track
And stay the fuck at home.
Oh, stay the fuck at home, please,
Stay the fuck at home,
Don’t you be a fucking dick
And stay the fuck at home.
