John Prine - Six O'Clock News lyrics



Wanda had a baby in 1951
The father was a stranger
And the stranger was the son
Call that child James Lewis
Call these rooms a home
Changin' all them diapers
Polish all that chrome
C'mon baby, spend the night with me

All around the schoolyard, playing all the games
Running, laughing, back and forth
The kid with two first names
Stranger in the closet
Lock the diary
The past is running faster
Singing harmony
C'mon baby, spend the night with me

"God Bless This Kitchen" said the knick-knack shelf
Dinner's almost ready
Go and wash yourself
Jimmy's growin' up now
Wanda's growin' old
Time is growing shorter
The nights are long and cold
C'mon baby, spend the night with me

Sneaking in the closet and thru the diary
Now don't you know that all he saw
Was all there was to see
The whole town saw Jimmy
On the six o'clock news
His brains were on the sidewalk
And blood was on his shoes
C'mon baby, spend the night with me

C'mon baby, spend the night with me
