Somethin' strange is goin' on and you're in the middle

I'll do anything to solve the riddle

I've got a city editor who 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



Chorus:

I'm oh so sorry but the readers 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, shadow on your trail

And I'm tape-recording every detail



All the walls have ears tonight

They're listenin' in case you might talk in your sleep



(chorus)



In every supermarket check-out line they'll be starin' at your face

Make you a legend in your own time, you can triple column space

When I get the story right, I'll be queen, I'll be queen, I'll be queen



(Solo)



I'll get the story right and I'm gonna be queen of the publication



I'm oh so sorry but the readers 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

Oh, queen of the publication... (to fade)
