Can't hold a candle to Chiang 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. CH: 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. |
