She's Given Up Talking

She's given up talking
Don't say a word
Even in the classroom
Not a dickie birdUnlike other children
She's seen and never heard
She's given up talking
Don't say a wordYou see her in the playground
Standing on her own
Everybody wonders
Why she's all aloneSomeone made her angry
Someone's got her scared
She's given up talking
Don't say a wordBut when she comes home
It's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely
Like the water from a tapHer brothers and her sisters
Can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again
She goes into a dazeAh but when she comes home
It's yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely
Like the water from a tapHer brothers and her sisters
Can't get a word in edgeways
But when she's back at school again
She goes into a dazeShe's given up talking
Don't say a word
Even in the classroom
Not a dickie birdUnlike other children
She's seen and never heard
She's given up talking
Don't say a wordShe's given up talking
She don't say a wordDon't say a word
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
