Have you heard the news? Jenny Lee wants to marry me
Under the boughs of the cherry blossom tree
And although it does break my heart
I cannot accept her love
I promised my heart to a girl eight ago
In a town on the other side of the world
She’s livin’ there now with a guy from Wichita
And here it’s me with Jenny Lee
Have you heard the news? Jeremy wants to marry me
Under the boughs of his favourite maple tree
And although I once loved you
I plan to say I do
He built us a big old house in Wichita
Big enough for a family
Enclosed is my new address
If you still wanna write to me
Have you heard the news?
Have you heard the news?
Yes i heard the news
Yes i heard the news!
Well what did you do?
What could i do?
I thought about me and you
But you do know, we’re through?
Yeah, well what could i do?
When i heard the news
I heard the news
