Talk and cross-talk in the kitchen
Someone new is coming over
They don’t think they have it in them
Bite your tongue and push it under
It’s a shame about Ann
When it all hit the fan
And we screamed and we ran
What a shame what a shame
It’s a shame about Jane
None of us knew her name
We just screamed and we sang
What a shame what a shame
What a shame what a shame
Talk and no one really listens
Can’t wait ‘til the talk is over
Light a fire in the system
Drown the customary thunder
It’s a shame about Ann
When it all hit the fan
And we screamed and we ran
What a shame what a shame
It’s a shame about Jane
None of us knew her name
We just screamed and we sang
What a shame what a shame
What a shame what a shame
Sigh and slip down little sister
Slip away and no one’s wiser
Where you go is not their business
Catch you down when it’s all over
