I just read where congress passed new legislation
To help fund the cost of our kids education
The cancer rate's down but the crime 'n rate is risin'


The Nets won 6-0 man that was exciting,
Down Jones is up and the forecast is clear

And the health care concerns are the focus this year

But the really big news is my little boy mike,

Just learned how to ride
His blue two-wheel bike
The really big news is the weekend is free

So we're planning a picnic with the whole family
And the big news is I took my sweet baby girls
To the mall to buy new ballet shoes

I know what's important, in my world today
Cause I know the really big news


That actress the one with the problems remember?
Her trial comes up in, I think it's December
GM sales rose, cause consumers were loyal

And the farmers fear flooding might damage the soil
The pope visits Spain and our sheriff he resigned
The last time I checked, ah the bulls were behind


But the really big news is my little boy mike,
Just learned how to ride

His blue two-wheel bike
The really big news is the weekend is free
So we're planning a picnic with the whole family

And the big news is I took my sweet baby girls
To the mall to buy new ballet shoes
I know what's important, in my world today

Cause I know the really big news

And when Maddie says daddy come on out and let's play

There's no way no way no way I can refuse.
I still read the paper, especially the sports
Oh but I know the really big news
