Cover of the Reporter
by Paul Staron

I’ve been a home inspector for a long time,
Ever since I can recall
I’ve seen lots of homes, met lots of folks,
Buddy, I’ve seen it all.
I find all kinds of problems no one else can find,
With just a light and a screwdriver,
And I keep getting richer, but I can’t get my picture
On the cover of the Reporter.
Chorus:
Reporter, gonna see my picture on the cover
Gonna buy five copies for my mother,
Gonna see my smilin’ face
On the cover of the Reporter
(Repeat)
I’m a home inspector and a leak detector,
And I like to look for clues.
Then I tell the home buyers, like it is,
And I look for some good news.
Well I know how to build ‘em and I know how to fix ‘em
And I know the codes for sure,
And I keep getting richer, but I can’t get my picture
On the cover of the Reporter.
Chorus
I’ve inspected homes for welfare folks
And homes for kings and queens,
Big or small, new or old,
They all need help it seems.
But when all is said and all is done
Guess I’ll do a few thousand more
And I’ll see my face, in it’s rightful place,
On the cover of the Reporter.
Chorus
