"In the neighborhood where I live, there's a gossipy woman!"

This woman's hobby is to wander around just to make me look bad,

Her eyes are like binoculars, her tongue's like a rag!

Her finger is like a rod gun, pointing everywhere...

Go point that finger over there, I don't even care!

Gossipy woman, your tongue is really mischievous!

Gossipy woman, your tongue is really crafty!

This fire blend of winds, like a prophetic air,

Spreading rumors and secrets, she's everywhere!

This hag was even able to ruin a marriage,

When the priest asked the question, she showed no courage!

"Speak now or forever hold your peace", he said...

She let loose the gossip, and the chaos spread!

The rings flew into the air, the flowers on the floor,

Nobody could take that gossip anymore!

I was flirting with my girl, just minding my own,

Now I have to explain all the love I have shown!

She says she doesn't want to see me, because of what you said...

Your tongue is like a fire, making everything go red!

Gossipy woman, your tongue is really mischievous!

Gossipy woman, your tongue is really crafty!

(Crowd: Speak now! Speak now!)

From the neighborhood to the church, you're the one we fear,

But your time of gossiping is ending right here!

(Whispering) "Gossipy woman... Shhh!"
