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
