I'm Gonna Tell  - Original Music and Lyrics by Rosalie Sorrels

*As recorded by Mike Lockett, The Normal Storyteller

Chorus

  I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna tell

  I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna yell

  I'll get you in trouble for everything you do

  I'm gonna tell on you

Verses

I'm gonna tell where you stuck your gum

And I'm gonna tell that you suck your thumb

I'm gonna tell about the cat and the glue

I'm gonna tell on you

I’m gonna tell you said a bad word

I’m gonna tell just what I heard

But, I’m not gonna tell what I said to you

I’m just gonna tell on you

I'm gonna tell that you hid the broom

Just to get out’ of cleanin’ your room

And when Mom finds out, she'll sweep the floor with you

I'm gonna tell on you

I'm gonna tell how you punched me and bit me

And I'm gonna tell how you socked me and hit me

But I'm not gonna tell what I did to you

I'm gonna tell on you

I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna bawl

Mom’s gonna smash you all over the wall

And when Dad comes home, I'm gonna tell him too

I'm gonna tell on you
