I JUST CAN'T LIVE
(WITHOUT MY DAILY SNAILPAPER)

O life is just one long newspaper caper...
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper...
"Crash blossoms" here ...atomic typos there....
O where would I be, without my dear snailpaper?

Maybe you know him, that old workhorse Bradlee...
Ben's the one who sidelined Tricky Dick - ee...
O Woodward and Bernstein of Watergate fame...
There's nothing better than that newspaper game!

O life is just one long newspaper caper

I just can't live without my daily snailpaper
"Crash blossoms" here...
atomic typos there...
O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?

I think you know Bill Keller too...
He runs the Times and knows old from new....
-- (media that is)....
Maureen Dowd to the left of him, ...
Dave Brooks to the right...
If it's fit to print, it's in the New York Times tonight!

O life is just one long newspaper caper
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper
"Crash blossoms" here... atomic typos there
O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?

Now there's Alex Beam at the Boston Globe...
He doesn't pull punches and he's really quite bold...
The son of a diplomat, he's travelled -- literally -- the Globe!
The Globe is a snailpaper that'll never grow old...

O life is just one long newspaper caper
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper
"Crash blossoms" here... atomic typos there
O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?

In Chicago, there's Steinberg, Neil with a hat...
He's a serious writer who never falls flat...
Snailpapers help the Windy City un-wind...
My kind of town, it's a newpaper -- mine!

O life is just one long newspaper caper
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper
"Crash blossoms" here ....atomic typos there
O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?

L.A. used to print the invincible Her-Ex...
Reporters in their cars dine on savory Tex-Mex...
If you're going to Hollywood, read the L.A. Times...
Snailpapers for sale on Hollywood and Vine.

O life is just one long newspaper caper...
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper...
"Crash blossoms" here ...atomic typos there...
O where would I be, without my dear snailpaper?

Miami's a Herald, and D.C.'s a Post....
Boulder's a Camera and Walter Winchell's a ghost
So let's save our papers, preserve them in print
Call them snailpapers, LET DRUDGE WORD MINT!

O life is just one long newspaper caper..
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper..
"Crash blossoms" here, atomic typos there..
O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?

O life is just one long newspaper caper..
I just can't live without my daily snailpaper...
"Crash blossoms" here, atomic typos there..
O where would I be without my dear snailpaper?
