Quel sguardo sdegnosetto, SV 247

歌詞

There's a lady in the town who talks about everyone She talks about what they say and all the things they've done She tears them down to size, this was her trade Listening to Sophie was a gossip hit parade When she'd come to the synagogue they'd all gather 'round To hear the latest, hottest gossip in the town She knew it all and she told it like a pro She'd take deep, deep breath and off she'd go "Did you hear the other day what about you he did say And I know you wouldn't believe the fight that Debbie had with Steve And that lady's such a hog, she's always dressed in rags And the joke of the week is to hear the Rabbi speak" No one was spared her scathing tongue Be you rich or poor, be you old or young Juicy stories were her specialty, gossip her desert She never seemed to realize that someone may be hurt Well one day it did happen in the supermarket aisle She saw some ladies talking, laughing with big smiles But as she approached them it was clear to see "Oh my gosh" she said, "they're talking about me" "Did you hear the other day what about me she did say That lady with her tongue I tell you should be hung Yes I hate the way she talks and I hate the way she walks I hate the way she stares and the ugly clothes she wears There's a lady in town who's reached pride and fame She never says an unkind word and Sophie is her name When you're around her watch what you say Mention someone's name and Sophie runs away Did you see the other day how a word she wouldn't say I tell you she's the best, that lady should be blessed She's one of a kind, folks like her are hard to find Yes Sophie is her name, yes Sophie is her name
