Tattle Tale

TATTLE TALE

Hey little tattle you tell on me

(na na na na na na na na na na na)

Tattle tale never let me be

(na na na na na na na na na na na)

The teacher she says she cares

That’s why she calls my parents on the phone and warns them to beware

Push me and my books down the stairs

I run to the nurse for care and a band-aid

Nurse is laughing hah hah hah

Even she’s down on me

They didn’t give me therapy

Just lots of slapping and pushing around

Therapy was later when they all lost hope in washing out my mouth with soap

I’d love to play

I have no friends today

And it feels real bad - oh

That I am not ok

I ran home today

I hid in the garage

All day in the garage

My mother found me

She asks, ”Why is everyone down on me?“

(I’m gonna push you down I’m gonna tell on you)

I’m leaving

I’m going

Farewell good-bye

The truant officer was out and looking all around for me

I don’t care I’m gonna leave

My mouth is bleeding

My clothes are ripped

I’m in hell

Every day I’m hit

Hey little tattle tale you tell on me

And you knock me down, down, down

I said, ”Hey little tattle tale when will you stop beating another kid up?“

(I’m gonna tell on you I’m gonna tell on you)

(I’m gonna push you down I’m gonna tell on you)

I said, ”Hey little tattle tale everyday you make me cry and run away everyday“

(na na na na na na na na na na na)

(na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
