Zip It Up
Mary Rice Hopkins
Mary Rice Hopkins & Puppets With a Heart DVD
Lyrics
He said she said words can grow
Like a forest fire, then out of control
Ya gotta zip it up, gotta zip it up
Gotta zip it up, don’t let ‘em out
Season those words
That come out of your mouth
So zip it up, gotta zip it up
Little bitty rudder can guide a whole ship
Take you so far on a fishin’ trip
Little bitty words when you let ‘em fly
Can cut like a knife and they’ll make you cry
So zip it up, gotta zip it up
So zip it up, gotta zip it up
Little bitty tongue is just one part
But words show more what’s inside the heart
So Zip it up, you gotta zip it up
Well you got two eyes, you got two ears
But only one mouth
So look in the mirror
Ya gotta zip it up, you gotta zip it up
Little bitty rudder can guide a whole ship
Can take you so far on a fishin’ trip
Little bitty words you let ‘em fly
Cut like a knife and they’ll make you cry (wa, wa, wa)
So zip it up, gotta zip it up
So zip it up, gotta zip it up
Oh yeah
