(J. Farrar/T. Snow/S. Kipner) Something strange is going on And you're in the middle I'll do anything to solve the riddle I've got a city editor Put me on a deadline If I don't come through I'm on the breadline I'll invade your privacy Please don't take it personally I'm oh so sorry But the reader's got a right to know You're gonna help the circulation grow When I get the story right I'll be queen of the publication I've got a hidden camera A shadow on your tail And I'm tape recording every detail All the walls have ears tonight They're listening in case you might Talk in your sleep I'm oh so sorry But the reader's got a right to know You're gonna help the circulation grow When I get the story right I'll be queen of the publication In every supermarket checkout line They'll be staring at your face Make you a legend in your own time Give you triple column space When I get the story right I'll be queen I'll be queen I'll be queen I get the story right I'll be queen of the publication I'm oh so sorry But the reader's got a right to know You're gonna help the circulation grow When I get the story right I'll be queen I'll be queen I'll be queen I'm queen of the publication
