Hey, sister, have you heard?
Some people stand like trees without a word
And what that means is that some people don't talk

Oh, please, pardon me, mister
You know I just didn't hear you that first time that you said that
But now that you repeat for me, I'll be sure to do what I can
You know I'm going to do what I can, do what I can, do-do-do-do what I can
Gonna do what I can, do what I can, do-do-do-do what I can
But no more, you understand?

Oh, please, pardon me, father
You know, I just didn't hear you that, that first time that you said th...
Help me, help me, help me, help me, repeat it, repeat it, repeat it
I'll be sure to do, do, do what I can
Do what I can, do what I can, do, do, do, do what I can
Gotta do what I can, do what I can, do, do, do, do what I can
But no more, you understand?

It's of utmost importance, we're dealing with volatile substance
I had so much on my mind. I was so glad when I died, oh...

Listen to me, baby, can you keep a secret for me?
Make sure no one finds out, 'cause then the lights will go out
And I will find you out, and I will cut you up
Uh-hmm, don't ask me why because I said I'm gonna do what I can
Do what I can, do, do, do, do what I can
Gotta do what I can, do what I can, do, do, do, do what I can
But I'll have none of that, you understand?
Don't you know nothin'? You never tell on someone
Don't you know nothin'? You ain't never going to tell on someone

What you going to do? Gonna turn, gonna turn rat fink?
What you wanna do? Do want to see, do you wanna see what it's like to sink?
Sink down, sink down, sink down, down, down to the bottom of the river
Sink down, sink, sink down, down, down, down, to the bottom of the river, sink, down, sink
Sink down, down. Down, down to bottom of the river
Sink down, sink, sink down, down. Down, down to the bottom of the river

Don't you know no one? You never tell on someone
Don't you know no one? You ain't never gonna tell on someone

Ah, ah, oh, I tell you what it's like, I tell you what it's like, oh
I stood right up in the heart of Hell, I never tell
I stood right up in the heart of Hell
I'm never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
I'm never, never, never, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
Nothing, nothing, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
I'm never, never, never, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
Nothing, nothing, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
Ah...
