Lyric Queen Of The Publication

(J. Farrar/T. Snow/S. Kipner)

Something strange is going on
And you re in the middle
I ll do anything to solve the riddle
I ve got a city editor
Put me on a deadline
If I don t come through
I m on the breadline

I ll invade your privacy
Please don t take it personally

I m oh so sorry
But the reader s got a right to know
You re gonna help the circulation grow
When I get the story right
I ll be queen of the publication

I ve got a hidden camera
A shadow on your tail
And I m tape recording every detail
All the walls have ears tonight
They re listening in case you might
Talk in your sleep

I m oh so sorry
But the reader s got a right to know
You re gonna help the circulation grow
When I get the story right
I ll be queen of the publication

In every supermarket checkout line
They ll be staring at your face
Make you a legend in your own time
Give you triple column space
When I get the story right
I ll be queen
I ll be queen
I ll be queen

I get the story right
I ll be queen of the publication
I m oh so sorry
But the reader s got a right to know
You re gonna help the circulation grow
When I get the story right

I ll be queen
I ll be queen
I ll be queen
I m queen of the publication
