He said, she said, words can grow
Like a forest fire, they're not out of control
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Zip it up, but don't let them out
Season those words that come out of your mouth
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Little bitty rudder can guide a whole ship
Take you so far on a fishing trip
Little bitty words, you let them fly
They could like a knife and make you cry
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Zip it up
Little bitty tongue is just one
Word show more what's inside the heart
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Well, you got two eyes and you got two ears
But only one mouth, so look in the mirror
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Little bitty rudder can guide a whole ship
Take you so far on a fishing trip
Little bitty words, you let them out
Little bitty words, you let them fly
They could like a knife and make you cry
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
You gotta zip it up, zip, zip, zip
Zip it up, oh yeah
Yeah
