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
|
Pass 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
|
Pass 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
|
Pass it on to a friend
|
Leave it all to your brother
|
Start the rumor again
|
(Start the rumor)
|
|
Go and tell your mother
|
Pass 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]
