Shes given up talking
Dont say a word
Even in the classroom
Not a dickie bird
Unlike other children
Shes seen and never heard
Shes given up talking
Dont say a word
You see her in the playground
Standing on her own
Everybody wonders
Why shes all alone
Someone made her angry
Someones got her scared
Shes given up talking
Dont say a word
Ah but when she comes home
Its yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely
Like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters
Cant get a word in edgeways
But when shes back at school again
She goes into a daze
Ah but when she comes home
Its yap-a-yap-yap
Words are running freely
Like the water from a tap
Her brothers and her sisters
Cant get a word in edgeways
But when shes back at school again
She goes into a daze
Shes given up talking
Dont say a word
Even in the classroom
Not a dickie bird
Unlike other children
Shes seen and never heard
Shes given up talking
Dont say a word
Shes given up talking
She dont say a word
Dont say a word
