Gossip

She got an "A" on her paper when we all got "C's"

I ain't gotta tell you what that means

She slept with Mr. Hickman

Have you heard the one about the homecoming queen

She's the quote quote captain of the football team

That's what the girls are whispering

(pre-chorus)

That pebble hits the pond with a tiny splash of truth

And it ripples down the street where they're starving for the scoop

(chorus)

I heard it through the grapevine

That's where the whole thing starts

Never mind the details, jump to the juicy part

My neighbor's cousin heard it from the guy who fixed her car

The rumor mill's rockin', the whole town's hoppin'

Nothin' gets 'em talking like a little gossip

Mr. Frank who owns the A&P

Got caught with the new clerk Beverly

He squeezed more than the charmin

The judge he is a business man

Him and the sheriff bought some land

Willie Nelson's kind of farming

(repeat pre-chorus/chorus)

(bridge)

It ain't gossip if you know the source is good

There's busy bodies in this neighborhood

So keep it to yourself if you would
