Real Big News
Big news! My savior has arrived
My intuition's never been so strong
Big news! My career has been revived
All I needed was a snippy, pissy, Yankee all along
Take a superstitious city, add one little jew from Brooklyn!
Plus a college education, and a mousy little wife
And big news, real big news! That poor sucker saved my life
So give him fangs, give him horns, give him scaly, hairy palms
Have him droolin' out the corner of his mouth
He's a master of disguise, check those bug-out creepy eyes
Sure, that fella's here to rape the whole damn South
They'll be bangin' down my door, yelling
"More Craig more!" Call for justice
We need justice, beat the pastor
Kill the mob! Big news, real big news
My savior has finally come
According to reports obtained exclusively by this reporter
Prosecutor Dorsey has a villain in his sight
A highly ranking unnamed source in this investigation tells me
Leo Frank's the only likely culprit in this case
Anyone with any information on the suspect Leo Frank
Should contact this reporter, apparently Atlanta Georgia!
I saw this little kid, said "Look what Leo did"
And then she run and hid
Go on, go on, go on, go on now
He sat down next to me, his hand went on my knee
I had to shake it free
Go on, go on, go on, go on now
I say it isn't fair (He likes 'em young and small)
I saw his books, I swear (Got naked pictures all)
That man's a millionare (Pinned to his office wall)
Go on, go on now
He has a kid you know (My brother says he knows)
(I watched him for a while)
Knocked up some student so (Wherever Leo goes)
(Behind that creepy smile)
He paid to make her go (He carries Mary's clothes)
(A classic pedophile)
I know it, yes, I seen it, yes!
Go on, go on, go on, go on now!
Go on, go on, go on, go on now!
Look! You just scribble it down, and it colors the town
Like molasses or mud
Look for us drunken old bums opportunity comes in a magical flood
Look! You might never be sure if your motives are pure
But your profits are clear
Look! You were down and depressed
Now you're riding the press for the scoop of the year
Jim Conley. I got a piece of paper here that says
You spent a little time on the chain gang
That's right! Twice, according to this
And the second time it says here you were out with the road gang
And you just up and disappeared. Well, you know, my term was about up
Really? I think you had a few more months to serve
You know what that makes you, don't you?
Lucky?
I was going to say an escaped convict
Now, what should we do about that?
What was that you was askin' me about Mr. Frank?
According to reports obtained exclusively by this reporter
Mr. Leo Frank has been indicted on the charge of murder!
Prosecutor Dorsey states the trial will begin
In the Atlanta County Courthouse
Only one month from today!
Mrs. Frank, the suspect's wife
Has still not spoken to reporters!
What's the word from Mrs. Frank?
What's the word from Mrs. Frank?
Mrs. Frank! Mrs. Frank!
Let me alone! Please, let me alone
My intuition's never been so strong
Big news! My career has been revived
All I needed was a snippy, pissy, Yankee all along
Take a superstitious city, add one little jew from Brooklyn!

And big news, real big news! That poor sucker saved my life
