NEWS FROM UP THE STREET
(Dan Hicks)
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks


(intro)

ride your pony and
take a letter to
someone waitin to hear from
ride your pony and
take my letter you
know I'm waitin to get some

(chorus)

News from up the street,

she's people I'd like to meet

News from up the street,

she's people I'd like to meet

she's people I'd like to meet

one in particular must
get my letter so
she'll know that I live here
and read those words that were
written from my heart
if only I could hear some

(repeat chorus)

If only you'd deliver it

the letter I write

If only you'd deliver it

the letter I write

If only you'd deliver it

the letter I deliver it

the letter I deliver it

the letter I write

(instrumental break)

there's a girl Ive just
got to hear from
I wrote her a letter
and when she gets it I
know she'll answer it
I'll be feelin much better

and when she gets it I
know she'll answer it
that's the way that I wrote it
so ride your pony and
take my letter here
I'll be lookin' and hopin' for

(repeat chorus)

If only you'd deliver it
the letter I deliver it
the letter I deliver it
the letter I write
the letter I write
the letter I write
