[Verse 1]
I was in the supermarket at the checkout stand
When the little checkout lady slipped a paper in my hand
With pictures of Farrah and Ryan O'Neal
This time, it's love and they both say it's for real

[Chorus]
If it's in the Enquirer, it's gotta be true
Would the National Enquirer ever lie to you?
(It's partly true)
Ever lie to you
(Sometimes, it's true)

[Verse 2]
There were ten flying saucers spotted in LA
And catch the latest flash that was announced today
Thеy say my favorite actor was goin' with a guy
The headlinеs were just about six inches high

[Chorus]
If it's in the Enquirer, it's gotta be true
Would the National Enquirer ever lie to you?
(It's partly true)
Ever lie to you
(Sometimes, it's true)
[Sax Solo]

[Verse 3]
Kenny and Dolly and Burt and Sally
And Erik Estrada smilin' back at me
Horoscope and recipe and a poster of John Wayne
And a story that says James Dean's alive again

[Outro]
If it's in the Enquirer, it's gotta be true
Would the National Enquirer ever lie to you?
(It's partly true)
If it's in the Enquirer, it's gotta be true
Would the National Enquirer ever lie to you?
(It's partly true)
Ever lie to you
(Sometimes, it's true)
Ever lie to you
