This is a Johnny Cash style song. The song is about the dangers of gossip and mostly chorus.
All comments welcome. Rob


The Word In Town


There's a word in town don't let it get around.
Keep the strictest confidence I plead.

There's a whisper I hear although it seems absurd
Don t even tell it to a mocking bird.

Chorus
He told her and she told me I told her cos I heard.
Let the storm cloud builds as the talk goes round elaborate on every word.

Bridge

Keep your ear to the ground and dwell on every sound.
Its confidential banter that you seek.

Then whisper in her ear and spell it out so clear.
Many thoughts to talk about for weeks.

Chorus

He told her and she told me I told her cos I heard.
Let the storm clouds build as the talk goes round elaborate on every word.

He told her and she told me I told her cos I heard.
Let the storm clouds build as the talk goes round elaborate on every word.


Bridge
Chorus

He told her and she told me I told her cos I heard.
Let the storm clouds build as the talk goes round elaborate on every word.

He told her and she told me I told her cos I heard.
Let the storm clouds build as the talk goes round elaborate on every word, elaborate on every word.
