Frank Sinatra - Tennessee Newsboy (The Newsboy Blue) lyrics

Hey, read all about it, read all about it
Paper, mister?

Down in Nashville, Tennessee
A little fella shouted this to me
Buy a paper, know the news
Or else I gotta sing the Newsboy Blues

Dig a nickel from your jeans
A nickel buys a lot of jelly beans
Hey there, mister, don't refuse
I hate to have to sing the Newsboy Blues

See the headlines, what do you read?
See the want ads, what do you need?
Read the funnies, what do you say?
I haven't even sold a single paper today

Tell you what I'm gonna do
Gimme a nickel and I'll sing for you
Tap the rhythm with my shoes
My little song is called the Newsboy Blues

See the headlines, what do you read?
See the want ads, hey what do you need?
Read the funnies, what do you say?
I haven't even sold a single paper today

Tell you what I'm gonna do
Gimme a nickel and I'll croon for you
Tap the rhythm with my shoes
My little song is called the Newsboy Blues

I'll beat the rhythm with my shoes
My little song is called the Newsboy Blues

Paper get your evening paper here
What do you read? Get your evening paper
