You know Sulzberger and Hearst, and Gannett and Greeley,
Scripps and Cox, Pulitzer and McClatchy.
But do you recall? The most infamous publisher of all?
Well sing along folks, with this updated Christmas favorite ......
Rupert, the red-faced publisher
had a very shiny face.
And if you ever saw him,
clearly you would see disgrace.
All of the other publishers
laugh and love to call him names.
They’ll never let poor Rupert
forget his evil snooping games.
Then one sultry summer’s Eve
The PM came to say:
"Rupert with your face so bright,
why’d you hack those phones that night?"
Now all the readers loath him
and they shout it out with glee:
“Rupert the red-faced publisher,
you'll go down in history!”
Got an idea for another verse? :)
