Good News

Once upon a time there was a vulture and a hog,

Livin' in a house upon a hill.

Had this little boy who lived with them,

And they worked him like a dog.

With any luck, they'd have him up there still!

'Long came a magic man with a magic bag

Full of nasty little green things in a funky old rag.

He said: "Boy you may not know it but this here's salvation you see"

Son, you're going down in history

Good news is blowin' in your window,

Good news is knockin' on your door,

Good news is comin' 'round the corner,

Good news is rollin' 'round your floor!

Where can all my troubles be?

Must be good news chasin' me

Good enough to set everybody free

Good news, good news, good news

(Good news)

There were bugs in the garden, didn't have a clue

That everyday their life was on the line.

They wanted to get outta there,

But they didn't know what to do!

Their little brains is workin' overtime.

That all changed one sunny day

That little boy dropped by to say:

If we all work together, we make out okay

Good news, good news, good news

Gotta roll down a mountain, flew over the sea

Facin' death and danger on their way

But together they had made it

And they're where they wanna be.

They love each other more and more each day.

They care about each other.

Good news is sweepin' cross the country,

Good news is spreadin' all around,

Good news is hittin' in the city,

Good news has sprung up in the town!

The things that used to hurt before,

They don't hurt 'em anymore

'Cause they know there's somethin' good in store!
