Gossip Calypso Lyrics by Bernard Cribbins

The Very Best of Bernard Cribbins

1962

[Intro]
A gossip calypso
Gossip calypso
Hear all about it
Yak-a-yak yak
Every woman
Up at the window
Giving out the gossip and
Getting it back
[Verse 1]
"Oh, Mrs Brown
Well, how are you now?
I tell you, I've had a shocking time
With Ern and his stomach"
"Don’t talk to me
My Charlie has gone and
Fallen down the stairs again
Saints preserve us!"
"Poor old chap
Did he hurt himself?"
“Well, not as much as Alf
That's my cousin, Fred's boy
"I learned from Fred
The doctor said
He'll have to have his kneecap scraped"
“Cor blimey!"
Singing:
[Chorus]
Gossip calypso
Gossip calypso
Hear all about it
Yak-a-yak yak
Every woman
Up at the window
Giving out the gossip and
Getting it back
[Verse 2]
"Oh, Mrs Booze
Have you heard the news?
That woman—you know, the very fat one
Down at the corner
Climbed in a truck, got stuck
They think that they're
Never gonna get her out"
“Do tell me!"
"Well, I had a feller 'round
And gave him a pound
To free her with an
Oxyacetylene welder
"Must send along some books
It looks like she's gonna be there
Quite some time"
“Cor blimey!”
Singing:
[Chorus]
Gossip calypso
Gossip calypso
Hear all about it
Yak-a-yak yak
Every woman
Up at the window
Giving out the gossip and
Getting it back
[Verse 3]
“Oh, Mrs Ware
I do like your hair!
Who does it?"
"I go to Madame Pom Pom
'Round by the gasworks"
"With all that fruit it looks so cute
I can't believe it's really you
Like a film star!"
"Have you heard, dear?
A little bird has told me
Mrs Tate's
Expecting her seventh"
“Well, glory be!
That's three
She's had
Since Lenny had his tonsils out"
“Cor blimey!"
Singing:
[Chorus]
Gossip calypso
Gossip calypso
Hear all about it
Yak-a-yak yak
Every woman
Up at the window
Giving out the gossip and
Getting it back
[Outro]
A-giving out the gossip and
A-getting it back
