A moment alone, spent far from a maddening crowd A girl with a secret imparts to a friend out loud The contents of a letter, another lover's written down Once gossip starts it shall receive no end
Tell me tell me
Why, why, oh why do rumours rankle round
Armed with a secret Jennifer couldn't keep quiet And blabbed to her boyfriend, who told all his mates that night Dispense with the intrigue now. Somebody should let 'em know Gossip is the devil's radio
Oh why, why, oh why do rumours rankle round Oh why, why, oh why do rumours rankle round
Weird looks in the local, just serves to show Gossip is the devil's radio
In the supermarket, at the school where your kids go Gossip is the devil's radio
Oh why, why, oh why do rumours rankle round Oh why, why, oh why do rumours rankle round
