Louella's Loose Lips: A Tale of Betrayal and Butcher's Knives
Lyrics
Well, why in the devil did you tell Louella
Expressing frustration or disbelief about sharing information with Louella.
Everything you know?
Questioning the decision to disclose everything to Louella.
She's got a great big mouth
Describing Louella as someone who talks a lot.
And she'll talk about you
Warning that Louella will gossip about the person.
Everywhere she goes
Emphasizing that Louella spreads information widely.
She'll talk about your man
Louella will talk about the listener's romantic partner.
She'll talk about his wife
Louella will discuss the listener's partner's spouse.
And now they're after you with a butcher's knife
Implies that disclosing personal details has led to trouble, represented by a threat with a butcher's knife.
Oh Louella, big-mouth Louella
A repetition, addressing Louella directly and emphasizing her talkative nature.
Well, telegram, telephone
Suggesting various means of communication used to inform Louella about the situation.
Tell Louella everybody knows
Indicating that the information has become widely known.
If you tell Louella, you might as well put it on the radio
Highlighting the widespread nature of Louella's gossip, akin to broadcasting on the radio.
She'll spread the story around
Louella will share the details with others.
She's very indiscreet
Describing Louella as not discreet in keeping secrets.
She'll put your private life out in the street
Louella will make private matters public.
Oh Louella
Reiteration of addressing Louella, possibly expressing frustration or disappointment.
Well, I told you once, I told you twice
Stressing the importance of not sharing information with Louella.
You wouldn't listen tom me
Expressing a sense of forewarning and disappointment.
You got together with big-mouth Louella
Highlighting that the listener ignored advice and shared with Louella.
And you told her everything
Reiterating the act of divulging information to Louella.
The cat's out of the bag, you spilled the beans
Indicating that the secret is no longer confidential, using idiomatic expressions.
You should have locked your lips
Suggesting that keeping quiet would have avoided the current situation.
And thrown away the keys
Advising to keep information private and secure.
Oh, Louella
Reiteration, possibly expressing disappointment or regret.
