YOU TATTLETALE
(Leon Pober / Mark McIntyre)

as recorded by Patience & Prudence
with The Mark McIntyre Orchestra
1957


I'll tell on you, you tattletale,
And when I do, you'll weep and wail!
And then you'll know how I feel too,
You tattletail, I'm gonna tell on you!

You told on me, you tattletale,
You sneaked around and read my mail!
You had one xxxx?, well I had two,
You tattletail, I'm gonna tell on you!

I'll tell your neighbours, I'll tell your friends,
I'll keep on telling till your tattletaling ends! 
But still I know I'm missing you,
Your loving ways, the things you do!
But till you say you miss me too,
You tattletail, I'm gonna tell on you!

I'll tell your mother, I'll tell your dad,
I'll keep on tattletaling till it drives you mad!
But still I know I'm missing you,
Your loving ways, the things you do!
But till you say you miss me too,
You tattletail, I'm gonna tell on you,
You tattletail, I'm gonna tell on you!
