Little River Band - The Rumor lyrics

It all started out by a word of mouth Moving fast on a whim It went all through the suburds The north and south And when it finally got back to him It was larger than life It was older than time It was all that you need All of a sudden we changed overnight But the people couldn't see the wood for the trees Go and tell your mother Pa** it on to a friend Leave it all to your brother Start the rumor again Start the rumor again Selling more than sliced bread, honey Bigger than Ben-Hur What'cha gonna do with all that money Send it on back to her Reap the harvest Sow the seed That's what the Good Book says Starve the truth and feed the rumor And your imagination's gonna do the rest Go and tell your mother Pa** it on to a friend Leave it all to your brother Start the rumor again Start the rumor againnnnn Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh It was larger than life It was older than time It was all that you need All of a sudden we changed overnight But the people couldn't see the wood for the trees Go and tell your mother Pa** it on to a friend Leave it all to your brother Start the rumor again (Start the rumor) Go and tell your mother Pa** it on to a friend (You better leave) leave it all to your brother Start the rumor again (yeah) Start the rumor againnn (now) Start the rumor again Start the rumor again (yeah) Start the rumor [repeat til end]
