  • Cuttin up history jugglin with lives
  • Bein a reporter is a glamorous trade
  • You dont even have to tell the truth to get paid
  • Well not that much no no no not that much
  • Yeah but when you hear aretha singing on some adver tise ment
  • Or with a big fussy band on some hall of fame concert
  • Shes still got the lungs and the dress and the mink stole
  • You might even say the girls still got soul
  • But not that much no no no not that much
  • Outro: hey ay ay ay etc
  • Em d c am twice then fade) /pre>
