I got me a job on the local paper
Everybody there thinks I'm nice
But they'd better look twice
`Cos it isn't me
Headline hust-ler
Scandal m.ak er
Headline hust-ler
Money t.ak er
You keep writing me letters but I haven't got time
I'm busy looking at photographs
But they'd better not be from the BBC
Headline hust-ler
Scandal m.ak er
Headline hust-ler
Money t.ak er
Better not turn around
I'll stab you in the back
And you don't know what I'm hiding
Under my plastic mac, under my plastic mac
I got a very good friend in the CIA
And he says that he never takes bribes
But he's telling lies
Cos he's into me
Headline hust-ler
Scandal m.ak er
Headline hust-ler
Money t.ak er
If your brother's wearing dresses
And your neighbour's swapped his wife
Well I'm gonna make the headlines
With your private life With your other wife
Headline hust-ler
Scandal m.ak er
Headline hust-ler
Money t.ak er [rpt chorus 4x]
