Mum's The Word
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mum's the word, don't start a ruckus, it's best Aunt Sue don't know
'Cuz she's so proud, so if she finds out I reckon we ought alert Uncle Joe
Mum's the word, don't start a ruckus, Aunt Sue don't know Uncle Joe
If rumour starts 'bout what she's been doin', I reckon we ought alert Uncle Joe
Mum's the word, don't start a ruckus, Aunt Sue's been doing it, too
They tell Uncle Joe everything they know, reckon we ought alert Aunt Sue
'Cuz Uncle Joe's liable to hurt Aunt Sue
Mum's the word, un-huh, she done heard, Aunt Sue started to turn him on
Say I heard some talk, you ain't got no squawk, been checkin' out stone to stone
Just pack up and leave me alone
