A Little Gossip

A little gossip
 A little chat
 A little idle talk of this
 And that
 I'll tell him all
 The troubles I have had
 And since he doesn't hear
 At least he won't feel bad
 When I first got home my wife Theresa beat me
 But the blows feel very littely on my back
 She kept missing every other stroke and crying from the heart
 That while I was gone she'd gone and lost the nack!
 (talking)
 Of course I hit her back, your Grace.
 But she's a lot harder than I am!
 And you know what they say, whether the stone hits
 the pitcher or the pitcher hits the stone... it's going to be bad for the pitcher.
 So I've got bruises from here to my...
 (singing)
 A... little gossip
 A little chat
 A little idol talk of this
 And that
 If no one listens
 Then it's just as well
 At least I won't get caught
 In any lies I tell
 Oh I haven't fought a windmill in a fortnight!
 And the humble joys get duller everyday
 Why when I'm asleep a dragon with his firey tongue a waggin'
 Whispers, Sancho won't you please come out to play?
