Putting Words In the Mouth of Others

Putting words in the mouth of others, Will do you no favours, When word of that gets out to others, And their Mothers. Putting words in the mouth of others, Will lead to yet more others, And their Mothers, Clapping when someone else bothers, To talk of your future to others. Putting words in the mouth of others, Will do you no favours, As words coming from others, And their Mothers, Are now put in your mouth for others, To report to their Mothers, And when Fathers hear this from others, Your relationships with their sons and daughters, It Smothers.
