A Slip of the Lip (Can Sink a Ship) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shh, don't talk too much
Shh, don't know too much
Jack, don't be too hip
'Cause a slip of the lip might sink a ship

[Verse 2]
Shh, don't see too much
Boy, don't jive too much
Jack, don't be so hip
'Cause a slip of the lip might sink a ship

[Bridge]
The walls have ears
The night has eyes
So let's be wise
And trick those nasty, nasty spies

[Verse 1]
Shh, don't talk too much
Shh, don't know too much
Boy, don't you be too hip
'Cause a slip of the lip might sink a ship

[Verse 3]
Shh
Shh
Shh

[Verse 4]
Shh
Shh
It's so bodacious to be loquacious

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
A slip of the lip might sink a ship
Shh
