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

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
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
