Tell it Like it is

Gertrude had hots for Humphrey
he never knew
she died a lonely spinster
on planet blue

if you believe in something
you'd better tell it like it is

Fred had desires for Albert
but didn't tell
if only he'd known Albert
liked him as well

if you believe in something
you'd better tell it like it is

bring a brush and paint a sign
put some laundry on the line
let it all hang out

get that can of beans untinned
scatter seedcorn to the wind
all aboard and shout it

let me tell you 'bout it

Mabel adored Miranda
her whole life through
but sad to say Miranda
hadn't a clue

if you believe in something
you'd better tell it like it is

fly a smoke trail in the skies
promulgate and advertise
start to spread the word

if you're selling apple pie
how can people start to buy
when they haven't heard it ?

let me tell you 'bout it

Sid really fancied Doris
in every way
but Doris didn't know it
he didn't say

if you believe in something
you'd better tell it like it is
