Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week'
I think I have some of the lyrics for you.

Second verse:
I'ts good news week
Lot's of blood in Asia now,
they butchered up the sacred cow
They've got a lot to eat
It's good news week
Doctor's finding many ways of wrapping brains in mental trays
To keep us from the heat.

I had a band called the Maroons that did this and "Eve of Destruction", among other oddball 60's stuff. We took a few liberties with the songs (they're all over age, after all) and did "Eve" ala Bruce Springsteen; we interspersed the instrumental hooks from a bunch of his tunes, with the "Born to Run" lick as the outro. It was fun.

Another great song from that era that we used to do is "Have I the Right"
