Lyrics Tennessee Newsboy (The Newsboy Blues) - Frank Sinatra, Axel Stordahl

Tennessee Newsboy (The Newsboy Blues)

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?
Get your evening paper!
