lyrics

NEWSBOY
(By Mark McNeil)
I am just a newsboy
With my stack of papers
Filled with news
That happened yesterday
I stand here every morning
Calling out first warning
All the headlines
From near and far away

Extra, extra
Read all about it
Get your paper today
And even if you don’t like what it says
you can always turn the page

I am just a newsboy
On this piece of pavement
Everyday goes by
Just the same
I call out from the corner
Till my bag is empty.
And walk home with a
Pocket full of change

Extra, extra
Read all about it
Get your paper today
And even if you don’t like what it says
You can always turn the page
You can always line the cage
Put it in your fireplace
Hope you have a good day
