Lyrics

Hahaha, come on, bad news, hahaha Well, bad news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow They all call me wildfire, 'cause everybody knows That I'm bad news, everywhere I go, hahaha Always gettin' in trouble And leaving little girls that hate to see me go (oh, bad news) They tried to hang me down in Oakland, and they did in Francisco But I wouldn't choke, I broke their rope, they had to let me go 'Cause I'm bad news (bad news), everywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble And leaving little girls that hate to see me go (go) Now, from North to South, to East to West, the story is the same From one State to another, I have to change my name 'Cause I'm bad news (bad news), everywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble And leaving little girls that surely hate to see me go Yeah (oh-ooh-ooh) Well, now, I've picked peaches in Georgia, a lumber jacked up in Maine I've been hired and fired, and put in jail in any town you can name 'Cause I'm bad news (bad news), everywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble And leaving little girls that hate to see me go (bad news) Say it babe (Whoa!)
