It's good news week Banning all the words I write Destroying them with great delight They make me start again It's good news week Because the rest is not allowed I think I'll write a song about The freedom of the pen Think about the news Vital things today Look at the press Let's see what they have to say It's good news week Davey Jones has cut his hair Although he's left a little there It's shorter than before It's good news week So Paul McCartney's single then Or is he not, or then again But is he, anymore? It's good news week Elvis is a married man We told you when it all began The day would have to come It's good news week Lennon is an actor too He's doing what he wants to do And having lots of fun Is the rumor true? What do you say? I don't believe Brian Wilson's gone away "Brian Wilson's gone away?" It's good news week They were right, and I was wrong The other lyrics to this song Are stupid to compare It's good news week Let's talk about important things Not sordid, useless happenings That go on everywhere Do you really care? Do you really care?
