Real Big News

[CRAIG]
Big news! My savior has arrived!
My intuition's never been so strong!
Big news! My career has been revived
All I needed was a snippy, pissy Yankee all along!
Take this superstitious city, add one little Jew from Brooklyn
Plus a college education and a mousy little wife
And big news! Real big news!
That poor sucker saved my life!

So give him fangs, give him horns
Give him scaly, hairy palms!
Have him droolin' out the corner of his mouth
He's a master of disguise
Check those bug-out creepy eyes
Sure, that fella's here to rape the whole damned South!
They'll be bangin' down my door
Yellin' "More, Craig, more!
"Call for justice! We need justice!
Beat the bastard! Kill the bum!"
Big news! Real big news!
My saviour has finally come!
