Three folks can keep a secret shared if two of them are dead.
Otherwise the secret\'s out, everything that\'s said.
\"Keep it to yourself,\" I\'ve heard, and \"Please don\'t tell a soul\"
which are, of course, the perfect ways to guarantee it\'s told.
\"I\'ve been informed, in confidence, that you-know-who\'s in town,
but please be very careful, dear; don\'t let this spread around.\"
\"Spread around! For goodness sake, I\'d never say a word!
You can trust me! From these lips nothing will be heard.\"
A lie! A lie! A bald face lie! No secret\'s safe today!
You might as well hire on a blimp with neon light array.
Take out an ad or post a sign or call up channel three.
Your secret\'s in the public sphere for all the world to see.
So be aware that when you next reveal a secret thought,
don\'t waste your breath with \"Mum\'s the word\"; instead, I think you ought
to take to heart this proven law, it\'s truth so aptly said:
Three folks can keep a secret shared if two of them are dead!
