Gossip
I am one of those women who don't give a toot
Cant be bothered with gossip, I don't give a toot
I don't go knocking on doors to borrow sugar
... Passing on gossip I don't give a bugger
So if you don't mind dear I wont join the clan

if you ask too many questions
a snake prone upon his shoulder
Don’t look and it won’t hurt
