| Lyrics:Roy Alfred Music:Roy Alfred | |
| You said before me met | |
| that your life was awful tame | |
| Well, I took you to a night club | |
| and the whole band knew your name. Oh, | |
| Well, baby, baby, baby | |
| I've Got News For You | |
| Oh, somehow your story don't ring true, | |
| Well, I've got news for you. | |
| Well, you phoned me you'd be late | |
| cause you took the wrong express | |
| and then you walked in smiling | |
| with your lipstick all a mess | |
| Oh, let me say to you little mama, | |
| Wo, I've Got News for you | |
| Ah, your story don't ring true lil girl | |
| Yeah, I've got news for you. | |
| (Instumental - subdominant bridge) | |
| (A section solo) | |
| Oh, you wore a diamond watch, | |
| claimed it was from Uncle Joe. | |
| When I looked at the inscription | |
| it said love from Daddy-O. | |
| Oh, well baby, wo lil girl, I wanna say | |
| I've Got News For You. | |
| Ah, if you think that jive will do | |
| Let me tell you, oh, | |
| I've Got News For You | |
| Well, somehow your story don't ring true | |
| Wo, I've Got News For You. |
