This is a fun song we wrote about local South Florida newscaster Marybel Rodriguez from CBS 4 Miami. We watched a lot of @cbsmiami every morning while locked up at home during Covid pandemic. After 8 months of hearing the other newscasters say "Hey Marybel..." every morning...a song was born.
Lyrics
Hey Marybel
Hey Maribel that’s a real nice story
The kind that draws a crowd and wakes them early
It don’t take too much to get them to tune in
Yeah Maribel it’s a real nice morning
Don’t tell Lissette she might just change the story
It’s a sunny day (I’m)not gonna stay locked up inside
But what you got on the prompt today
(If it’s) Bad news flush it down the drain
Just a smile all we need
Hey Maribel what you got going
I’d like to know since I’m up so early
The house is dark and the sun’s about to rise
So Maribel what’s coming up this evening
The same old story with a different meaning
Just need some time to get this story off my mind
But what you got on the prompt today
(If it’s) Bad news flush it down the drain
Just a smile all we need
But what you got on the prompt today
(If it’s) Bad news flush it down the drain
Just a smile all we need
Maribel don’t take us to commercial
That story’s hot and controversial
I gotta know how its gonna end this time
Hey Maribel you staying in this weekend
And Jennifer is pointing at that green screen
A little rain ain’t gonna make me stay inside
But what you got on the prompt today
(If it’s) Bad news flush it down the drain
Just a smile all we need
