GOSSIP
this computer simulation will be replaced with genuine voices
this recording was made with Larry’s teenage singers many years ago
LYRICS
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Tell me everything, my dear.
And I promise I will never tell a soul.
Gossip, gossip, spread the rumour.
Gossip, gossip, spread the rumour.
Gossip, gossip – evil thing
Much unhappiness it bring
If you can’t say something nice
“Don’t talk at all” is my advice.
Take my wife, now there’s a gossip!
What an ear for news has she!
Knows a fact or two about everyone
that’s in our whole community!
If you talk about somebody –
if even what you say is true,
When it comes back it is double-talk
to what it was when it left you.
everybody say
Gossip, gossip – evil thing
Much unhappiness it bring
If you can’t say something nice
“Don’t talk at all” is my advice.
Gossip often break up friendship
Even ruin somebody’s life –
do as much as any one thing can
to separate a man from wife.
Wagging tongue – abomination!
But self control a precious jewel.
Even in your conversation
Please do not forget the “golden rule”.
everybody say
Gossip, gossip – evil thing
Much unhappiness it bring
If you can’t say something nice
“Don’t talk at all” is my advice.
