Real Big News
Lyrics
Big news! My savior has arrived!
My intuition's never been so strong!
Big news! My career has been revived
All I needed was a snippy, pissy Yankee all along!
Take this superstitious city, add one little Jew from Brooklyn
Plus a college education and a mousy little wife
And big news! Real big news!
That poor sucker saved my life!
So give him fangs, give him horns
Give him scaly, hairy palms!
Have him droolin' out the corners of his mouth
He's a master of disguise
Check those bug-out creepy eyes
Sure, that fella's here to rape the whole damned South!
They'll be bangin' down my door
Beggin' "More, Craig, more!
"Call for justice! We need justice!
Beat the bastard! Kill the bum!"
Big news! Real big news!
My savior has finally come!
According to reports obtained exclusively by this reporter
Prosecutor Dorsey has the villain in his sights
A highly ranking unnamed source in this investigation tells me
Leo Frank's the only likely culprit in this case
Anyone with any information on the suspect, Leo Frank
Should contact this reporter care of the Atlanta Georgian
I saw this little kid
Said, "Look what Leo did!"
And then she run and hid
Go on, go on, go on, go on now!
He sat down next to me
His hand went on my knee
I had to shake it free!
Go on, go on, go on, go on now!
I say it idn't fair! He likes 'em young and small
I saw his books, I swear Got nekkid pictures all
That man's a millionaire! Pinned to his office wall!
Go on, go on now!
He has
A kid, you know (My brother)
(Says he knows) On top of all o'
Knocked up That He followed me
I know it, yes (I seen it, yes!) I know it, yes Jane's Boutique

Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on!
Go on, go on, go on, go on, now!
Look! You just scribble it down and it covers the town like
Molasses or mud!
Look! For us drunken ol' bums opportunity comes
In a magical flood!
Look! You might never be sure if your motives are pure
But your profits are clear!
Look! You were down and depressed
Now you're ridin' the crest of the scoop of the year!
Accordin' to reports obtained ex (Extra! Extra!)
Clusively by this reporter (Leo Frank indicted!)
