Girls can keep a secret\\
Can't they\\
And they didn't know\\
For almost thirty weeks\\
Before she started to show\\
She'd always seem to grow so fast\\
And all they ever had to do\\
Was ask\\
\\
Boys can be such stupid bastards\\
For a superior race\\
Mistaking all her tears for laughter,\\
I rest my case\\
Maybe they were going steady\\
But the baby,\\
She just wasn't ready\\
For this world\\
\\
This world can be cruel sometimes\\
For the easily led\\
Don't let yourself\\
Be fooled by sunshine\\
And what the Bible says\\
I'm not saying the Bible lies\\
It's just that some things don't apply\\
To this world\\
And all this comes to pass\\
When a child is born at last\\
Into the world at The Hotel Fleapit\\
How could this girl keep her secret\\
\\
The prosecution and defence\\
Stepped down\\
And approached the bench\\
As she lay the body on the table\\
She wasn't ready fit or able\\
For this world\\
\\
And all this comes to pass\\
When a child is born at last\\
In this world\\
