| I’ve got news of the very best kind
|
| About troubles that are falling behind
|
| About people that used to be blind
|
| Till they opened up their eyes to see
|
| It’s news, when they begin to ask why
|
| They’re poor until the day that they die
|
| They’re tired of the pie in the sky
|
| And they want some security
|
| And that’s news, news, ain’t that news?
|
| Ain’t that something to see?
|
| News, news, you talk about your news
|
| It’s mighty good news to me
|
| I’ve got news about some ordinary men
|
| They heard it preached time and again
|
| To be patient and grateful, amen
|
| And «Don't agitate around here»
|
| They argued and they talked it around
|
| And they woke up and here’s what they found
|
| Their voices made a mighty big sound
|
| Till they didn’t know the meaning of fear
|
| And that’s news, news, ain’t that news?
|
| Ain’t that something to see?
|
| News, news, you talk about your news
|
| It’s mighty good news to me
|
| In a hazard they’re meeting at night
|
| Organizing, and doing it right
|
| And planning for a hell of a fight
|
| And they sure don’t aim to lose
|
| In New York the tenants said no
|
| The slumlord ain’t getting our dough
|
| They’re fed up and I want you to know
|
| That’s the very best kind of news
|
| And that’s news, news, ain’t that news?
|
| Ain’t that something to see?
|
| News, news, you talk about your news
|
| It’s mighty good news to me
|
| That’s news, news, ain’t that news?
|
| Ain’t that something to see?
|
| News, news, you talk about your news
|
| It’s mighty good news to me |
