She`s Given Up Talking

She`s given up talking Don`t say a word Even in the classroom Not a dickie bird Unlike other children She`s seen and never heard She`s given up talking Don`t say a word You see her in the playground Standing on her own Everybody wonders Why she`s all alone Someone made her angry Someone`s got her scared She`s given up talking Don`t say a word Ah but when she comes home It`s yap-a-yap-yap Words are running freely Like the water from a tap Her brothers and her sisters Can`t get a word in edgeways But when she`s back at school again She goes into a daze Ah but when she comes home It`s yap-a-yap-yap Words are running freely Like the water from a tap Her brothers and her sisters Can`t get a word in edgeways But when she`s back at school again She goes into a daze She`s given up talking Don`t say a word Even in the classroom Not a dickie bird Unlike other children She`s seen and never heard She`s given up talking Don`t say a word She`s given up talking She don`t say a word Don`t say a word
