Lyrics for Dedicated To The Press

Hey now! Extra, extra, have you read about me? Well, they say I'm vulgar And some people can do without me Well, all I can say is it's such a shame Why do they blame me for what I am? Hey now! Extra, extra, do you understand me? Well, if you don't, don't you reprimand me Well, I wish I could tell it to you another way But I'm telling you the only way that I know how Do you dig it? Extra, extra, have you read about me? Well, they I stick out my tongue Quite lecherously Well, I really don't know what they're talkin' about I just can't seem to keep my tongue in my mouth That's all folks Extra, extra, do you understand me? Well, if you don't, how can you like me? Well, all I can say is it's such a shame It really is a pity that you can't get into me I don't care Hey now! Do you know where I'm going to? Hey now! Well, you're hipper than me if you say that you do It ain't nothin', but some music It ain't nothin', but some fun And if I make you uptight That's 'cause you don't know where I'm coming from And ain't nothin' that heavy Oh, such a shame Ooh, that sleazy fame Oh, isn't she a shame? Maybe her mother, her mother is to blame Dear mother Oh, isn't she a shame? Oh, ah, mmm, what a trashy dame Oh, life is such a shame You swing high You swing low, here I go again
