Story Behind The Song

My name is Patrick Woodland. nic. tenBroek my writing partner and I are attempting to create fresh standards in the style of the great American Songbook.

Song Description

This song is a smooth, strutty, big band seduction song with a hint of danger. A little "Take a Walk on the Wild Side", but with a 1950's "Touch of Evil" noir feel. Beautifully sung by Chris Whynaught.

Lyrics

Tiny Whisper of Sin


Pat Woodland Nic. tenBroek

Verse 1
Don't give a nickel for any guy that you see
They may be saints, but you ain't seen no one like me

Well I believe that there's a time for good, if goods the mood you're in
And I believe in the tiny whisper of sin

Verse 2
Playin' it safe has a price tag you can't afford
You try to wait, but the waiting just makes you bored

You've got a yearning inside your soul, an itch beneath the skin
Your restless heart needs a tiny whisper of sin

Bridge
Well baby you've been saint-like, but baby, you've been had
Maybe, there's salvation, in a tiny taste of bad



Verse 3
Some call it weakness, but baby, that is a lie
Their only zealous, and jealous, of things that we'll try

I'm like Henry the eighth before, and you're like, Ann Boleyn
And when we speak there's a tiny whisper of sin

I'm like Henry the eighth of lore, and you're my Ann Boleyn
And when we speak there's a tiny whisper of........... sin
