Dit you ever wonder what it takes to break into the news, What's the magic formula that brings such fame to few, Well here are some news items that you haven't heard before, Of people who have never been beyond the magic door. Chorus: And I know you didn't read it in the papers, i'm sure you didn't see it on TV, I know you didn't hear it on the radio, But no news is good news for me. In a Belfast street this morning, a child was seen to smile, And experts have comfirmed that there's still water in the Nile, A plane has flown from Greece to Rome without a loss of live, And a man in Amsterdam confessed that he loved his wife. Chorus There's still some people living , not all of whom are fools, And some of them are happy though they've never won the pools, And a film star in Hollywood still feels no remorse, With fifteen different Oscars and still not one divorce. Chorus It's not that I don't recognise the evil that's around, For bad news and bad weather always can be found, But just remember that the news is made by you and I And if we find more time to laugh there'll be less time to cry. Chorus
