DAILY NEWS

(Tom Paxton)



Civil rights leaders are a pain in the neck

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



Daily News, daily blues

Pick up a copy any time you choose

Seven little pennies in the newsboy's hand

And you ride right along to never, never land



We got to bomb Castro, got to bomb him flat

He's too damn successful and we can't risk 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



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
