[Intro]
Extra, extra, read all about it
Lost love, needs affection, can't live without it

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy
Let me see your paper please (Let me see your paper please)
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy there
That story may be meant for me (Story may be meant for me)
I left my love a short time ago
Is he trying to find me, I've got to know

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy
Is this a special edition? (Special edition)
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy there
Or do I have competition (Competition)
Who'll treat him kind and a-good and true
And do all the things I didn't do

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey (Paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (Paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (Paperboy)

[Bridge]
Now what did I do, I can't seem to find a dime
Won't you let me have a paper this time?
Since the name of your paper is the Free Press
Give me one and you can sell the rest
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy
Let me tell you what I'll do (What I'll do)
Hey, hey, hey, paperboy there
If you let me read the story through
I'll stand right here in the cold
And yell "extra special", 'til your papers are sold

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey (Paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (Paperboy)
Hey, hey, hey (Paperboy)

[Outro]
Extra, extra, read all about it
Lost love, needs affection, can't live without it
Extra, extra, read all about it
Lost love, needs affection, can't live without it
