Tennessee Newsboy (The Newsboy Blues) - Frank Sinatra, Axel Stordahl

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’s 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

Give me 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, say, 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

Give me 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!
