Sticks and Stones

Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah)
yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah) x 2

Somebody once told me
"You are the weakest link, goodbye!
You should know the answer - don't you ever think?"
People started laughing, I felt so very small,
The I wondered if I knew anything at all.

Do you know that...
Sticks and stones will break your bones,
Silly words hurt more
Sticks and stones will break your bones,
Silly words hurt more

Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah)
yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah) x 2

Somebody once told me
Of a young girl long ago
Her singing teacher told her she sounded like a crow
Fifty years went by before she sang again
All because that dreadful word stayed inside her brain.

Do you know that...
Sticks and stones will break your bones,
Silly words hurt more
Sticks and stones will break your bones,
Silly words hurt more


Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah)
yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah) x 2

Nobody loves you, everybody hates you,
Think you should go and eat worms
Big fat juicy ones, wee thin squiggly ones,
See how they wriggle and squirm!

Somebody once told me
Names will not hurt you
The more I think about it, the less I think it's true
When the day is over, I'm lying in my bed,
I begin to think about all the things they said

Do you know that...
Sticks and stones will break your bones,
Silly words hurt more
Sticks and stones will break your bones,
Silly words hurt more


Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah)
yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah) x 2
