Paroles

Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
See the burly longshoreman showing off his biceps
Heaving and a-hauling mighty freighters in and out
All of the town folk think he's quite a guy
'Cept he don't lift a finger to help around the house
Scuttlebutt, ain't it a shame?
Nobody knows, nobody's to blame
The truth ain't pretty, I think you'll agree
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Do you see the dandy yachtsman posing at the wheel?
He's the picture of a regular marina buccaneer
But he doesn't know his rudder from his keel
It's a jolly good job he doesn't ever leave the pier
Scuttlebutt, ain't it a shame?
Nobody knows, nobody's to blame
The truth ain't pretty, I think you'll agree
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Yonder is a fisherman wading in a brook
On a weekend with the fellas feeling wild and free
The bold desperado's afraid to bait the hook
He say, "Will one of you people please do this for me?"
Scuttlebutt, ain't it a shame?
Nobody knows, nobody's to blame
The truth ain't pretty, I think you'll agree
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Listen to the folk singer feeling kinda jaunty
Singing out the chorus of a ballad sublime
He's a three-chord wonder, thinks he's Bella Fonty
You know he's gonna bore us with one more time
Scuttlebutt, ain't it a shame?
Nobody knows, nobody's to blame
The truth ain't pretty, I think you'll agree
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Over and over, day after day
Coming and a-going like ever before
Gossip is so ugly, try as you may
It comes innuendo and out of your door
Scuttlebutt, ain't it a shame?
Nobody knows, nobody's to blame
The truth ain't pretty, I think you'll agree
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Scuttlebutt, ain't it a shame?
Nobody knows, nobody's to blame
The truth ain't pretty, I think you'll agree
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
Just don't you tell nobody that you heard it from me
