Oh, I heard, yes, I heard
Though it wasn't told to me, I only heard
Oh, I heard, yes, I heard
Though it wasn't buzzed to me, I only heard
Now he said that she said
That she didn't know where she got it
But he said that she said
That the Law was gonna stop it
Oh, I heard, yes, I heard
Though it wasn't told to me, I only heard
Oh, I heard (Whatd'ya hear, boy?)
Yes, I heard (Gonna tell me somethin')
Though it wasn't told to me, I only heard
(Was it keyhole business?)
Oh, I heard, yes, I heard
Though it wasn't buzzed to me, I only heard
(Now, whatd'ya hear now?)
Now he said that she said
That she didn't know where she got it
But he said that she said
That the Law was gonna stop it
Oh, I heard (I understand), yes, I heard (Yeah)
Though it wasn't told to me, I only heard
Now, boy, you ain't heard nothin'
I overheard the same conversation last night
And it wasn't told to me, I only heard
(Whatd'you hear, boy?)
Well, you don't have to tell nobody
Simply 'cause I overheard this
And it wasn't told to me, I only heard
(Tell us what you heard)
Now he said that she said
That she didn't know where to buy it
And if it ever got out again, boy
There'd be a terrible riot
Oh, I heard, yes, I heard
And it wasn't told to me, I only heard
Oh, we heard, yes, we heard
Though it wasn't told to us, we only heard
Oh, we heard, yes, we heard
Though it wasn't buzzed to us, we only heard
Now he said that she said
That she didn't know where she got it
But he said that she said
That the Law was gonna stop it
Oh, we heard, yes, we heard
Though it wasn't told to us, we only heard
Wat-dee-no-wah, wat-dee-no-wah
Wat-dee-no-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Now, what you heard, boy
Wat-dee-no-wah, wat-dee-no-wah
Wat-dee-no-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
(Scatting till end)
