[Verse 1]
Mum's the word, don't start a ruckus
It's best Aunt Sue don't know
'Cause she's sauced out, oh, if she find out
I reckon we oughta alert Uncle Joe
'Cause Aunt Sue liable to hurt Uncle Joe
[Verse 2]
Mum's the word, don't start a ruckus
Aunt Sue don't know Uncle Joe
If rumors start brewin' about what he been doin'
I reckon we oughta alert Uncle Joe
'Cause Aunt Sue liable to hurt Uncle Joe
[Verse 3]
Mum's the word, don't start a ruckus
Aunt Sue been doin' it, too
They tell Uncle Joe everything they know
I reckon we oughta alert Aunt Sue
'Cause Uncle Joe liable to hurt Aunt Sue
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Mum's the word, uh-huh, she done heard
Aunt Sue started to turn him on
You say I heard some talk, you ain't got no squawk
You been checkin' out stone to stone
So just pack up and leave me alone
Pack up and leave me alone
Just pack up and leave me alone
Just pack up and leave me alone
Just pack up and leave me alone
