paroles de chanson A Little Gossip (2021 Digimix Remaster) - Avery Saltzman

I think I'll do something to lighten his heart. (sung)
A little gossip, a little chat
A little idle talk of this and that
I'll tell him all the troubles I have had
And since he doesn't hear, at least he won't feel bad
When I first got home my wife Teresa beat me
But the blows fell very lightly on my back
She kept missing every other stroke
And crying from the heart
That while I was gone she'd gone and lost the knack!
(Spoken)
Oh, of course I hit her back, your grace. But she's a lot
Harder than I am, and you know what they say: "Whether the
Stone hits the pitcher, or the pitcher hits the stone, it's
Gonna be bad for the pitcher." So I've got bruises from here to-

Stop!

A little gossip, a little chat
A little idle talk of this and that
If no one listens, then it's just as well
At least I won't get caught in any lies I tell
Oh, I haven't fought a windmill in a fortnight
And the humble joys grow duller every day
Why, when I'm asleep, a dragon with his fiery tongue
Awake and whispers, "Sancho won't you please come out and play?"
