 Rate Six O’clock News
Artist : John prine
Song : Six o’clock news
Wanda had a baby in nineteen fifty one.
The father was stranger and a stranger was the
son.
Call that child james lewis, call these rooms a
home.
Changing all them diapers polish all that
chrome.
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
All around the schoolyard playing all the games
Running, laughing back and forth the kid with two
first names
Stranger in the closet, lock the diary
The past is running faster singing harmony
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
"god bless this kitchen" said the
knick-knack shelf
"the dinner’s almost ready go and wash
yourself"
Jimmy’s growing up now and wanda’s growing old
The time is growin’ shorter the nights are long
and cold
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
Sneaking in the closet and through the diary
Now, don’t you know all he saw was all there was
to see
The whole town saw jimmy on the six o’clock news
His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on
his shoes
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
