"How Lovely When News Was Stupid"
Music by Charles Strouse
New Lyric by Shelly Goldstein (with all respect to Lee Adams' original: "How Lovely to Be A Woman") [NOTE: this is posted to cheer people up. No profit will be sought in any form. Only smiles during a global crisis.]

Back when the news was a trivial pursuit
We would watch from coast to coast
As all the crazy tabloid anchors chattered.
Then came the virus and the horror
And a nation unprepared
Gasped as headlines made us scared!
Overnight we had to deal with things that -- mattered.

How lovely when news was stupid
And lewd and crude and trite.
When genius from South Korea was
Our only Parasite

GOOP selling vagina candles
A Real Housewife’s fake breasts
When CNN hourly updates
Clocked Aunt Becky’s arrests

Madonna’s knee got hurt
Mick Jagger bought a yurt
That day whenTaylor Swift
Got real miffed
Said Scooter done her like dirt

When Bieber or Lindsay Lohan
Were known for Page Six brawls
And Patriots from New England
Deflated Brady’s balls

When 24/7 wasn’t pure fear
The days when “Corona” was just -- a beer

Kardashians who cheat
Or Gaga dressed in meat
That time when the wrong flick
Won Best Pic
But Moonlight couldn’t be beat!

When gossip & silly headlines
Were offered to us carte blanche
And politics was a punchline
Served up by Bruce Vilanch!

When all of this crap caused outrage and fuss
How lovely when news was stupid – like us.
