Six O'Clock News

Wanda had a baby in nineteen fifty one

The father was a stranger and a stranger was the son

Call that child James Lewis, call these rooms a home

Changing all them diapers, polish all that chrome

C'mon baby, spend the night with me

All around the schoolyard playing all the games

Running, laughing back and forth the kid with two first names

A stranger in the closet, lock the diary

The past is running faster singing harmony

C'mon baby, spend the night with me

"God bless this kitchen", said the knick-knack shelf

The dinner's almost ready, go and wash yourself

Jimmy's growing up now and Wanda's growing old

The days are growin' shorter, the nights are long and cold

C'mon baby, spend the night with me

Sneaking in the closet and through the diary

Now, don't you know all he saw was all there was to see

The whole town saw Jimmy on the six o'clock news

His brains was on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes

C'mon baby, spend the night with me

C'mon baby, spend the night with me

C'mon baby, spend the night with me
