I Hate People Who Gossip

I hate people who gossip!
Nothing's as despicable as an act like that.
I don't know why they always do it -
Passing that garbage in their idle, idle chat.

I'm disgusted to know that it still happens,
Circling around me like vultures in pack.
I wish for once these tongues so sharpened
Would vanish forever and get off my back.

The worst of the lot must be Mary-Amber.
All day, she goes, "Yap, yap, yap..."
Once she starts there's no stopping her.
It's like watching water gushing down a tap.

And then there's that chatter-box Noel.
I swear he babbles when he's having a nap.
No conscience has he when he gets on a roll.
Doesn't take much to get him to snap.

And then there're those witches around the corner,
Who does nothing all day but squeak like rats.
They sound like they're authorities on everyone.
And rumours they spread as if they base it on fact.

Anyway, as I was saying: I hate people who gossip!
Nothing's as despicable as an act like that.
So if by chance you get the latest hearsay,
Simply ignore it 'coz it's a whole load of crap.

ÖBut before you do,
You must,
Absolutely must,
Ring me and keep me abreast.
