Girls Can Keep a Secret

Girls can keep a secret
 Can't they
 And they didn't know
 For almost thirty weeks
 Before she started to show
 She'd always seem to grow so fast
 And all they ever had to do
 Was ask
 Boys can be such stupid bastards
 For a superior race
 Mistaking all her tears for laughter,
 I rest my case
 Maybe they were going steady
 But the baby,
 She just wasn't ready
 For this world
 This world can be cruel sometimes
 For the easily led
 Don't let yourself
 Be fooled by sunshine
 And what the Bible says
 I'm not saying the Bible lies
 It's just that some things don't apply
 To this world
 And all this comes to pass
 When a child is born at last
 Into the world at The Hotel Fleapit
 How could this girl keep her secret
 The prosecution and defence
 Stepped down
 And approached the bench
 As she lay the body on the table
 She wasn't ready fit or able
 For this world
 And all this comes to pass
 When a child is born at last
 In this world
