Good News - Randy Newman

Once upon a time there was a vulture and a hog

Livin' in a house upon a hill

Had this little boy who lived with them

And they worked him like a dog

With any luck, they’d have him up there still

'Long came a magic man with a magic bag

Full of nasty little green things in a funky old rag

He said, «Boy you may not know it but this here’s salvation you see.»

Son, you’re going down in history

Good news is blowin' in your window

Good news is knockin' on your door

Good news is comin' round the corner

Good news is rollin' 'round your floor

Where can all my troubles be?

Must be good news chasin' me

Good enough to set everybody free

Good news, good news, good news

(Good news)

There were bugs in the garden

Didn’t have a clue

That everyday their life was on the line

They wanted to get outta there

But they didn’t know what to do

Their little brains is workin' overtime

That all changed one sunny day

That little boy dropped by to say

If we all work together, we make out okay

Good news, good news, good news

Gotta roll down a mountain

Flew over the sea

Facin' death and danger on their way

But together they had made it

And they’re where they wanna be

They love each other more and more each day

They care about each other

Good news is sweepin' cross the country

Good news is spreadin' all around

Good news is hittin' in the city

Good news has sprung up in the town

The things that used to hurt before

They don’t hurt 'em anymore

'Cause they know there’s somethin' good in store

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news

Good news

Good news

Comin' down the chimney

Good news

Knockin' on my door

Good news

Leavin' through the window

Good news

Can’t take no more

Good news

Spreadin' o’er the country

Good news

For the young and old

Good news

Goin' round the world, now

Good news

Too hot to hold back

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news (Good news)

Good news

Good news

Good news!
