Speak No Evil Dragon (NZ)

We all lived in a small town
In a tumble-down shed
Mumma, she was a good-good woman
Worked so hard
Worked her fingers to the bones
Bring us kids up on her own
She said - you'll see it, you'll hear it
Baby don't speak no evil, baby don't speak no evil

Papa, he was a good-good man
And he worked so hard
He said, you see it and you hear it
Baby don't speak no evil, baby don't speak no evil
Baby don't speak no evil, that's what he said
Baby don't speak no evil, baby don't speak no evil
Baby don't speak no evil, that's what he said

Baby don't speak no evil

So they put us through schoo-ool
And kept us clothed and fed
We went swimmin' in summer
Rememberin' what mama said
Then we moved into town
Saw those people messin' around
She said - you see it and you hear it
Baby don't speak no evil, my baby don't speak no evil
Baby don't speak no evil, that's what she said
Baby don't, baby don't you see it, baby don't you hear it
Baby don't you see it, don't you hear it
