作曲：Otto Harbach

So be careful of stones that you throw

Oh a tongue can accuse

And carry bad news

Gossip is cheap and it's lo-o-ow

So unless you've made

No mistakes in your life

Just be careful of stones that you throw

A neighbor was passing my garden one time

She stopped and I knew

Right away that it was gossip

Not flowers

She had on her mind

And this is what I heard

My neighbor say

You know

That girl down the street

Should be run from our midst

She drinks and she talks quite a lot

She knows not to

Speak to my child and me

My neighbor

Then smiled and I thought

Oh a tongue can accuse

And carry bad news

Gossip is cheap

Cheap and it's lo-o-ow

So unless you've made

Unless you've made

No mistakes in your life

Just be careful

Of stones that you throw

Just then a speeded car pass by

And the screaming of brakes-a sound that

Made my blood chill

For my neighbor's one child

Had been pulled from the path

And saved by a girl lying still

The child was unhurt and

My neighbor cried out Oh

Who was that brave girl so sweet

I covered the crushed

Broken body and said

The bad girl who lived down the street

Unless you've made

No mistakes in your life

Just be careful of stones

That you throw
