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]
