Overheard but misheard ?

I cannot tell you what was said

I think that I misheard

And if they said what I think they said

I don’t believe a word

And when I stopped to think it through

it seems like utter madness

You wouldn’t say a thing like that

and have your face show gladness

So when you chat and pass a stranger

Please enunciate 

As what I heard seems so absurd 

I cannot contemplate
