Ain't That News |
| 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 |
