Shorty ran through the door of the local waterhole

He'd heard that Ruby's back in town, he heard it on the radio

Everybody disappeared and that's a fact

Ruby's good news and good news travels fast



She's smoking filter cigarrettes and she loves to rock'n roll

She likes the last row in the dark in at the picture show

She said the only thing that's better is my drop top Cadillac

Ruby's good news and good news travels fast



(solo)



Well, I finished my beer, I stepped outside to take a look around

They had a nine piece band and the major was strollin' around

Give me the key to the city and a front page flash

Ruby's good news and good news travels fast



She's smoking cigarrettes and she loves to rock'n roll

She likes the last row in the dark in at the picture show

She said the only thing that's better is my drop top Cadillac
