Civil rights leaders are a pain in the nck
You can't hold a candle to Chang Kai Shek
How do I know, I read it in the daily news
Ban the bombers are afraid of a fight
Peace hurts business and that ain't right
How do I know, I read it in the daily news

Well daily news, daily blues
Pick up a copy any time you choose
Seven little pennies in the newsboy's hand
You ride right along to never, never land

Well we gotta bomb Castro and bomb him flat
He's to successful and we can't have that
How do I know, I read it in the daily news
There's millions of commies in the freedom fight
Yelling for Lenin and civil rights
How do I know, I read it in the Daily News

Well daily news, daily blues
Pick up a copy any time you choose
Seven little pennies in the newsboy's hand
You ride right along to never, never land

Seems like the whole damn world's gone wrong
Saint Joe McCarthy is dead and gone
How do I know, I read it in the Daily News
Don't try to make me change my mind with facts
To hell with the graduated income tax
How do I know, I read it in the Daily News

John Paul Getty is just plain folks
The UN charter is a cruel hoax
How do I know, I read it in the Daily News
J. Edgar Hoover is the man of the hour
All he needs is just a little more power
How do I know, I read it in the Daily News

Well daily news, daily blues
Pick up a copy any time you choose
Seven little pennies in the newsboy's hand
You ride to never, never land
