Bad News Travels Fast Poem by Dorsey Baker

Bad news travels fast
you don't have to worry
about bad news being late
because bad news
travels fast
its on every corner
its on every street
it aint got no legs
and it don't need no feet
but bad news travels fast
you don't have to worry
about bad news being late
because bad news
travels fast

You can't keep it a secret
you've got to tell somebody
tell somebody the bad news
tell the story
but you don't have to tell it straight
bad news travels fast
you don't have to worry
about bad news
being late
because bad news
travels fast!
