Good News - From "James and the Giant Peach" / Soundtrack Version

Once upon a time there was a vulture and a hog
 Livin' in a house upon a hill
 Had this little boy who lived with them
 And they worked him like a dog
 With any luck, they'd have him up there still
 'Long came a magic man with a magic bag
 Full of nasty little green things in a funky old rag
 He said, "Boy you may not know it but this here's salvation you see."
 Son, you're going down in history
 Good news is blowin' in your window
 Good news is knockin' on your door
 Good news is comin' round the corner
 Good news is rollin' 'round your floor
 Where can all my troubles be?
 Must be good news chasin' me
 Good enough to set everybody free
 Good news, good news, good news
 (Good news)
 There were bugs in the garden
 Didn't have a clue
 That everyday their life was on the line
 They wanted to get outta there
 But they didn't know what to do
 Their little brains is workin' overtime
 That all changed one sunny day
 That little boy dropped by to say
 If we all work together, we make out okay
 Good news, good news, good news
 Gotta roll down a mountain
 Flew over the sea
 Facin' death and danger on their way
 But together they had made it
 And they're where they wanna be
 They love each other more and more each day
 They care about each other
 Good news is sweepin' cross the country
 Good news is spreadin' all around
 Good news is hittin' in the city
 Good news has sprung up in the town
 The things that used to hurt before
 They don't hurt 'em anymore
 'Cause they know there's somethin' good in store
 Good news (Good news)

 Good news (Good news)
 Good news (Good news)
 Good news (Good news)
 Good news
 Good news
 Good news
 Comin' down the chimney
 Good news
 Knockin' on my door
 Good news
 Leavin' through the window
 Good news
 Can't take no more
 Good news
 Spreadin' o'er the country
 Good news
 For the young and old
 Good news
 Goin' round the world, now
 Good news
 Too hot to hold back
 [Repeats]
