Butchie Boys - The Grapevine lyrics

Gossip is a common feeling

"The Grapevine" is picked a lot

I've lived with both for two long summers

No info's ever "on the dot."

I've been hearing about a girlfriend

I never found out who she was

If there's to be any information

I've got to find it through the fuzz

(Chorus)

*Just between you and me

You've got something to tell

I wanna get it all

Before the lights go out

Just between you and me

A real pact needs to be made

"Don't tell, don't tell" my way to info (NOW!)

Just between you and me

You've got something to tell*

If "The Grapevine" is the road to the truth

Grape juice is the promised drink

I'm reaching out in my ignorance

I'm longing to hear what you think

So, I'm sorry if what I said's not true

For I've misled a friend

We have gossip that's good to share

And sharing I will defend

(Chorus)

In my pursuit of truth I thirst for my "sources"

As I approach Melvin I must consider this

Info that's untrue will spread like wildfire

Before I go to him, common sense is retired
