Well, well my dear
Tongues wag in this town
Tongues wag in this town
Tom told Mary, Mary told Joe
Joe told Sarah and Cindy

Told Lisa and me

Have you heard the latest?
My, my, my
Tongues wag in this town
Tongues wag in this town
When you hear the dirty lies

You'll know that it's a crime
And an evil thing
