Hetty O'Hara Confidential

Hetty said if you ask me nicely
I'll write you up well
Don't tell me twice
??? you directly or pay the price
Peel off your skin like a thin veneer
If something tells me something that I didn't hear from you
Who's got the dope
Who's got the potential
Hetty O'Hara Confidential

Those were different days
Those were different drugs
From a gold-plate palace with half-mast flags
To a chalk-lined body that was full of slugs
She was trading favours for footnote plugs
Who's got the needle
Who is fit to burst
A morphine tattoo
An unquenchable thirst
Who's got your girlfriend
And who had her first
Reading her column was essential
Hetty O'Hara Confidential

She could kill a man with a single stroke
She is not the one you want to provoke
If you can't take the heat
Or you can't take a joke
Who's got the dope
Who's got the potential
Hetty O'Hara Confidential

If there's a gentleman caller to a comely wench
And a snooping peeper in a coat of trench
Place a line or two at the foot of the page
A cue or a clue to the latest rage
When your true dimensions and your actual age
Trade a life of scandal for a career on the stage
These little things seem inconsequential
Except Hetty O'Hara Confidential

On the night I came home from the debutante ball
Passed out drunk on the bathroom floor
??? called after taking a peek
At the secret drawer of atomic secrets
Repeating something that I whispered about
They have to take it but they can't dish it out
Who's cleaning up his act and breaking the bank
But unfortunately didn't remember to thank me
Now the rumour is doing the rounds
That his only friends are villains and scoundrels
Her reputation curled like yellow smoke
She named the wrong man in the story she broke
She had an unfortunate character trait
The irresistible impulse to assassinate
But the damage he did was quite substantial
To Hetty O'Hara Confidential

They got witch trials now with witches to spare
And a jukebox jury full of judgement and fury
With bright neon dresses and porn star hair
She was thrown to the wolves and the dogs and the foxes
Once they had their fill of shares and stocks
The case is unforgiven if your morals are lax
Pointing manicured fingers and making a mockery
With voices that sound like broken ???
Hetty said I'm powerless and I feel alone
Now everyone has a megaphone
Who's got the dope
Who's got the potential
Hetty O'Hara Confidential
