| Hey, read all about it, read all about it! |
| Paper, mister?
|
| Down in Nashville, Tennessee
|
| A little fella shouted this to me
|
| Buy a paper, know the news
|
| Or else I gotta sing the Newsboy’s Blues
|
| Dig a nickel from your jeans
|
| A nickel buys a lot of jelly beans
|
| Hey there, mister, don’t refuse
|
| I hate to have to sing the Newsboy Blues
|
| See the headlines, what do you read?
|
| See the want ads, what do you need?
|
| Read the funnies, what do you say?
|
| I haven’t even sold a single paper today
|
| Tell you what I’m gonna do
|
| Give me a nickel and I’ll sing for you
|
| Tap the rhythm with my shoes
|
| My little song is called the Newsboy Blues
|
| See the headlines, what do you read?
|
| See the want ads, say, what do you need?
|
| Read the funnies, what do you say?
|
| I haven’t even sold a single paper today
|
| Tell you what I’m gonna do
|
| Give me a nickel and I’ll croon for you
|
| Tap the rhythm with my shoes
|
| My little song is called the Newsboy Blues
|
| I’ll beat the rhythm with my shoes
|
| My little song is called the Newsboy Blues
|
| Paper! |
| Get your evening paper here, what do you read?
