Lyrics Six O'Clock News - John Prine
Wanda
had
a
baby
in
nineteen
fifty
one
The
father
was
a
stranger
and
a
stranger
was
the
son
Call
that
child
James
Lewis,
call
these
rooms
a
home
Changing
all
them
diapers,
polish
all
that
chrome
C'mon
baby,
spend
the
night
with
me
All
around
the
schoolyard
playing
all
the
games
Running,
laughing
back
and
forth
the
kid
with
two
first
names
A
stranger
in
the
closet,
lock
the
diary
The
past
is
running
faster
singing
harmony
C'mon
baby,
spend
the
night
with
me
"God
bless
this
kitchen",
said
the
knick-knack
shelf
The
dinner's
almost
ready,
go
and
wash
yourself
Jimmy's
growing
up
now
and
Wanda's
growing
old
The
days
are
growin'
shorter,
the
nights
are
long
and
cold
C'mon
baby,
spend
the
night
with
me
Sneaking
in
the
closet
and
through
the
diary
Now,
don't
you
know
all
he
saw
was
all
there
was
to
see
The
whole
town
saw
Jimmy
on
the
six
o'clock
news
His
brains
was
on
the
sidewalk
and
blood
was
on
his
shoes
C'mon
baby,
spend
the
night
with
me
C'mon
baby,
spend
the
night
with
me
C'mon
baby,
spend
the
night
with
me
