Collected Poems
We've Got the 'Herald' in the Morning and the 'Star' at Night
We've Got the 'Herald' in the Morning and the 'Star' at Night
Try this over on your piano
introduction and Verse
Taking stock of all the things they publish,
What do I find?
They say such things, their souls must be imperilled.
Taking stock of all their useless rubbish,
What do I find?
A useful purpose for the 'Star' and 'Herald'.
refrain
They've got horses, they've got cars,
They've got baches with cocktail bars —
They sell the 'Herald' in the morning and the 'Star' at night.
They've bought mansions, bought a yacht,
All by selling us priceless rot
In the 'Herald' each morning and the 'Star' each night.
Dailies are not meant to read;
We've got everything we need.
On town supply or septic tanks,
We'd all like to express our thanks —
We've got the 'Herald' in the morning and the 'Star' at night!
With the 'Herald' in the morning and the 'Star' at night
We're All Right!
