Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
And I know you didn't read it in the papers
I'm sure you didn't see it on TV
I know you didn't hear it on the radio
But no news is good news for me

Did you ever wonder what it takes to break into the news
What's the magic formula that brings such fame to few
Well, here are some news items that you haven't heard before
Of people whom have never been beyond the magic door

In a Belfast street this morning a child was seen to smile
And experts have confirmed that there's still water in the Nile
A plane has flown from Greece to Rome without a loss of life
And a man in Amsterdam confessed that he loved his wife

There's still some people living, not all of whom are fools
And some of them are happy though they've never won the pools
And a film star in Hollywood still feels no remorse
With fifteen different Oscars and still not one divorce

It's not that I don't recognise the evil that's around
For bad news and bad weather always can be found
But just remember that the news is made by you and I
And if we find more time to laugh there'll be less time to cry
