Yesterday’s News Lyrics by Cast of Meet John Doe

2013

[D.B. NORTON, spoken]
Ladies and gentleman
My name is D.B. Norton
The last two years have been difficult for all of us
But 1932 is within sight and can be a year of optimism and change
That is why I'm proud to announce
My acquisition of a true city institution;
The American Times
You can trust me to make the tough choices
To pull this great paper out of the red and into the future
New York, I give you:
The New American Times
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
[1st Man]

[3rd WOMAN]
Anyone proof this? (x4)
[4th WOMAN]
Waiting on Matro (x2)
[5th WOMAN]

[ENSAMBLE]
Will I be yesterday's news?
Will I be yesterday's news?
[NORTON]
Of course
We will all need to tighten our belts in the interest of profitability
[ENSEMBLE, sung]
Yesterday's News?
[BEANY, spoken]

[ENSEMBLE]
What will I do?
I'm feeling sick
I'm getting drunk
How could they?
[ENSEMBLE, Sung]
Only yesterday's news
Yesterday's news
Yesterday's-
[ANNE MITCHELL]
Hey Dad
Anne here
Cuttin' right to the chase
Drop the heart!
Don't get caught!
Ya' gotta plead on my case!
Buy him a beer, make him a vase
Tell him I love what he's done with the place!
Woah, get me a miracle
I need me a miracle
Today
[NORTON, spoken]
Tough times require tough measures
But with discipline and sacrifice
I know we will do great things
[BEANY, spoken]

[MITCHELL, spoken]
Look, Mr. Connell
This job is all I have to live on
[HENRY CONNELL]
You and everyone else!
The Mr. Norton fella is landing on me like the Sunday Edition
[MITCHELL]
I'm making thirty dollars a week now, i'll take twenty-five, Twenty!
[CONNELL]
Your column's lavender and old-laced
We need circulation, fireworks
People who can start arguments
[MITCHELL]
I can do that!
Look at us!
[CONNELL]
Turn in your last column before you pick up your check
