Chewing the Fat

I don't wanna hear it, you grinning Cheshire cat Go wipe your dirty feet somewhere else Spreading your gossip fact with a web of lies and innuendo Your eight eyes love peeping into other people lives through a cracked window Weaving your idle chatter with frivolous conversation Meaningless talk ... deceitful here say doth stalk Go chew the fat with someone else; don't try to bend my ear, I don't wanna hear I'm gonna steer clear from your obscenely obese comments But I have a message to deliver to you, so come near Rumor has it, that your loose lips was the culprit ... caused your neighbor to suffer a massive heart attack And you kissed her casket dressed in widow black Keep chewing the fat, and pretty soon it's gonna be you lying in the morgue on your back Now go run and tell that

Gossipers are trouble makers, Freddie. I try to steer clear of such people who can cause so much pain to others. ~ Regards // paul

Wow, this one seems a tad angry and loud my friend, rumors can certainly hurt another, true or not. What did Donovan McNabb say to Terrell Owens? "Keep my name out of your mouth" Or something like that. Very deep, dark and so cool.
