Intro:
I've got a story ... just for you
About a hound dog - he's a newshound, too.
He's going to bring you all the news he can find,
And tell you who, what, when, where and why.
So if you want to know ...
Who... are the people in the news?
What ... are the things they're going to do?
When ... will the cold wind start to blow?
Where ... do the birds go when it snows? (We'd like to know)
Why ... oh, why did the car and bus collide? (Whoops-bang-bing-a-bang)
Who ... yes, who was the man who tried to fly? (Up in the sky, and...)
What ... makes the earth shake in that scary way?
When ... will the sun pop up and say "Have a good day!"?
Chorus:
- Ask Webster! Webster! He's a newshound!
- Webster! Webster! What a newshound!
- Oh yeah! Let's ask the newshound!
- Bop-whop-a-loop! What a great sound!
- What's up? Let's ask the newshound!
- What's down? Let's ask the newshound!
- What's new? Hey! Look what he found!
- Bop-whop-a-loop! He's a newshound.
Where ... are they going to play that big game?
Why ... are strange things growing down my ... down my drain, and
Who ... are the people in the government? (Oh yeah, the government)
What's going to happen when the money's spent? (It's going fast, and)
When ... oh, when will the big stars come to town?
Where ... oh, where are the hottest spots around? (We'd like to go, and)
Why ... is someone sad, and if they start to cry ...
Who ... can turn that face into a great big smile?
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
- He's a good ol' hound dog. What does he do?
- He's got his nose to the ground to bring you the news.
- He'll find out if it's phony or true.
- He's bringing you the news.
- He's got no time to bark at the moon ...
- Or laze around sleeping till noon.
- He's too busy bringing you the news!
Repeat Chorus, continue and fade out:
Who? (Who?) Let's ask the newshound.
What? (What if?) Let's ask the newshound.
When? (Oh when?) Let's ask the newshound.
Where oh where oh where can he be now?
Why? (Oh why?) Let's ask the newshound.
