walking to the shore in the morning air
coffee and jazz in the easy chair
nowhere to be and nothing to declare
all of a sudden you're a millionaire
take it to the city for a couple of nights
get ready for me and my appetites
washing my face in the flashing lights
get the sunglasses
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
chilling on a boat in the carribbean
bet you wouldn't take me for a plebeian
got my own band with a saxophone
playing birdland to the chaperone
click click - you got to keep it together
click click - you go far or whatever
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
with the power of six
getting me confused
giving me kicks
what's your excuse?
let me say thanks to you folks of the pink zone
you've been there at every milestone
we're taking the shack, make it our own
just gimme two turn tables and a megaphone
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
with the power of six
getting me amused
a shower of klicks
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
daddy makes the news
