Paper boy, while other kids are cutting cable
Your awfully busy selling papers
You just ain't got no time to play
Paper boy, Paper boy
Your shoes are worn beyond repairing
You're not ashamed of what you're wearing
Because you've had a busy day
When you shout "Hey mister, want a paper?"
Yes Son! Folks who read just can't refuse
Everybody's buys all your papers
Keeping up with the latest news
Paper boy, Paper boy
A kid like you with your ambition
Someday will have a high position
Although you're just a Paper boy
When you shout "Hey mister, want the evening paper?"
Yes Son! Folks who read just can't refuse
Everybody's buys all your papers
Keeping up with the latest news
Paper boy, Paper boy
A kid like you with your ambition
Someday son, you gonna hold a high position
But right now, you ain't nothing but a Paper boy
