Don't you tell it to the breeze,
    Dm                 G
'Cos she will tell the birds and 
bees,
Continues after the ad
    C             Am
And everyone will know.

Because you told the blabbering 
trees,
        C    Em          Am
Yes, you told them once before,

It's no secret any more.

They're buried under the snow.

'Cos she'll run 'n' tell it to the 
birds and bees,
    C             Am
And everyone will know

 trees,
        C    Em          Am
Yes you did, ya told 'em once 
before.
