Bad News Whisper Whisper
Bad news
Have you heard?
Worst scenario
Right up her alley
Whisper whisper
Gossip gossip
Whisper gossip
Embellish
Lie
Bad news
Some cannot wait
To shock you
Scare you maybe
Frighten you with horror
of details
They are making up as they go
Bad news
Some cannot wait to give it
Whisper whisper
Gossip Gosspi
Embellish Embellish Lie Lie Lie
Others cannot wait to receive it
I am not one of those
But I have relatives who
should have earned a college
degree in Bad News
And gotten a diploma in Lying
Whisper whisper
Gossip Gossip
They only call when
they have something horrible to tell
