Bänkel vom Klatsch
Song of the Gossips

Modern Times CD

Sokol

Mary says that Daisy knows that Grace saw it quite plain,
when Lizzy went at ten last night with Bobby yet again......
If you ask Bobby, were you with Lizzy yester night,
he’ll hold his tongue, but his eye will twinkle on the right.
Ladies and Gentlemen, hear this and know,
Women gossip, men are discreet – ever so.

Baby thinks, Beate believes what Tanja’s telling her,
that Lil had gone with Bert ages before Hanno wedded her.
If you ask Bert whether he’d really been with Lilly,
he won’t say, just glance at his bed reflecting, will he.
Ladies and Gentlemen, hear this and know,
Women gossip, men are discreet – ever so.

Elli swears that Carry lies that Lola hadn’t said
that Sundays Ruth at Peter’s was naked on his bed ...
If you ask Peter has Ruth got lovely curves,
he’ll be looking at his Rubens, but saying not a word.
Ladies and Gentlemen, hear this and know,
Women gossip, men are discreet – ever so.

To end the song, bong the gong ..........
Applause/Chatter.
