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
Ruby's good news and good news travels fast
