Extra! Extra! (Supermarket Tabloid)
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
"The Little Kid Was Driving this Cadillac;
All the Other Little Cars got Hit!"
I once worked for a newspaper
It was a supermarket tabloid
I worked there with reporters
Who reported on things too good to avoid
Last week my paper's sales were boosted
by a simple little headline:
"My Daddy Grabbed My Poor Little Heart
and Shoved It in an Old Gold Mine."
"Cousin Last Seen Taking Photos of
Her Old Diseased ex-Husband;
Published Photos in this Ol' Tabloid
and Showed Them to All The Land."
EXTRA! EXTRA!
We supermarket people
Believe nothing that people
Say is meaningful
EXTRA! EXTRA!
We lie for cheap exploitation!
We believe nothing at our paper
Could possibly cause more than an explosion!
We tabloid-ers don't care at all
If we hurt anypony's feelings
Just send us all your tips
And we'll make sure some demon sings!
"Somepony just died today
Let's publish his or her autopsy
See the photos of her blood
And look at her body bleed!"
But wait, let's all take a look here
Nopony wants to be treated this way
What has everypony done
To deserve to be given hell this day?
Today is the day in which I leave
This ol' supermarket tabloid
Time to say goodbye to all the reporters
Who reported on things too good to avoid
I left this ol' tab-a-loid
because it was too busy bullying
Now I live a meaningful life
Where beautiful is everything.
(Cliffhanger)
I Don't Want To Keep You Hangin' On/La-La Means I Love You/Let It Be Me/What The World Needs Now Is Love
I see you maybe once or twice a week
Your love is always strong, never is it weak
There is always something in your heart
It tells me that we shall never part
Every time you say that your heart is mine
You can fill it right up with sunshine
Without you my heart is empty
'Cause it's you I would much rather see
Oh, I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on
I don't wanna do you any wrong
It's to you that I sing this song
Because I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on
I have loved nobody before I have loved you
All the magic can be only shared by two
You're what fills my life with happiness
And when I'm with you, you give me a bless
When your little hand is held in mine
You've made me your angel divine
I can really see Heaven in your smile
Our Candy Land appears wider than a mile
I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on
I don't wanna do you any wrong
It's to you that I sing this song
Because I don't wanna keep ya hangin' on
[segue into next song]
Many boys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
You passed them by
Now you're in the center ring
Their lines don't even mean a thing
Why don't you let me try?
Now I don't wear a diamond ring
And I hardly have a song to sing
All I know is
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
If I ever saw a love
I needed in this world
You are the one for me
Let me hold me in my arms
Let me thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see
The things I'm saying are true
The way I explain them to you
Listen to me
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
[segue into next song]
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
So I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this Heaven from one
If must you cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time that we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?
Never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
Say you'll always let it be me
[instrumental piece]
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there is just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don't ever need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
And to last until the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we don't even need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh, listen Lord, if You want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there is just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No, not just for some, oh oh oh but for everyone
[instrumental break]
For everyone
