Little Lips

Lyrics

Idle silly tittle-tattle,
Back and forth normalist prattle,
Gigglers, sniggerers, behind hand.
Tiresome, boring, evil, bland.
Knowing other people's business,
Comings, goings, toings, froings,
Absences, lapses, bad behavior,
Dirt, screwings, who "needs the Savior"?
A small-minded prigg'll be offended.
The righteous outraged,
one can't be defended.
The pious bubbled, loved-ones troubled,
Lemmas doubled, sometimes harmless,
Weak or lame.
Irrelevant, nasty, no cause for blame.
Idiotic wastes of time and energy,
Sad to hear, sad to see,
Sublimely funny, entertaining,
Something hardly worth explaining.
If not quite true, at least apt,
Amazing, laughable, ridiculous crap.
Fuel suspicion, ill-repute,
Notoriousness, pass the loot.
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la
La
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la
La
Et cetera
