IDLE GOSSIP
(Joseph Meyer / Floyd Huddleston)

Recorded by: Perry Como; Cliff Richard; Sarah Vaughan.


Friends may often come to you with idle gossip
Should they say our love is through, that's idle gossip!
Let the rumours come an' go, we'll prove to everyone,
we still carry on as though our love affair has just begun!

Now an' then let's stop an' kiss when we're out walking,
someone's sure to notice this and they'll start talking!
In their idle gossip, they may say that I love you,
an' this time, idle gossip will be true!

In their idle gossip, they may say that I love you,
an' this time, idle gossip will be true!

As sung by Cliff Richard :


Friends may often come to you with idle gossip
Should they say our love is through, that's idle gossip!
Let the rumours come an' go, we'll prove to everyone,
we still carry on as though our love affair has just begun!

Now an' then let's stop an' kiss when we're out walking,
someone's sure to notice this and they'll start talking!
In their idle gossip, they may say that I love you,
an' this time, idle gossip will be true!
(Musical Break)

Someone's sure to notice this and they'll start talking!
In their idle gossip, they may say that I love you,
and this time, this time idle gossip will be true!
