She's Given Up Talking

	She's Given Up Talking
She's given up talking Don't say a word Even in the classroom Not a dickie bird Unlike other children She's seen and never heard She's given up talking Don't say a word You see her in the playground Standing on her own Everybody wonders Why she's all alone Someone made her angry Someone's got her scared She's given up talking Don't say a word Ah but when she comes home It's yap-a-yap-yap Words are running freely Like the water from a tap Her brothers and her sisters Can't get a word in edgeways But when she's back at school again She goes into a daze Ah but when she comes home It's yap-a-yap-yap Words are running freely Like the water from a tap Her brothers and her sisters Can't get a word in edgeways But when she's back at school again She goes into a daze She's given up talking Don't say a word Even in the classroom Not a dickie bird Unlike other children She's seen and never heard She's given up talking Don't say a word She's given up talking She don't say a word Don't say a word
