The Really Big News (Now More Than Ever) - Russ Taff

I just read where Congress passed new legislation

To help fund the costs of our kids education

Well, cancer rate’s down

The crime rate is rising

The Mets won 6−0

Man, that game was exciting

Dow Jones is up and the forecast is clear

And the health care concerns are the focus this year

But the really big news is my little boy Mike

Just learned how to ride

His blue two-wheel bike

The really big news is the weekend is free

So we’re planning a picnic with the whole family

And the big news is I took my sweet baby girls

To the mall and I bought her a new ballet shoes

I know what’s important in my world today

Cause I know the really big news

That actress, the one with the problems, remember?

Her trial comes up in, I think it’s December

GM sales rose, cause consumers were loyal

And the farmers fear flooding might damage the soil

The pope visits Spain and the sheriff he resigns

The last time I checked

Oh the Bulls were behind

And when Maddie says «daddy, come out to play»

Oh there’s no way, no way I can refuse

I still read the paper, especially the sports

Oh but I know the really big news
