I heard a rumour You're in the news today I heard them talking and Whisperin' your name Their words are blowin' Like a ragin' fire in the wind Oh, I heard a rumour 'bout you Your dirty linen is Hangin' on their dirty lips They blabber and blather and natter 'Bout things they shouldn't even say The lies are flowin' Travelin' like the speed of light Oh, I heard a rumour 'bout you The wheels are turnin' Pourin' out sluice Their words are grinding Spreadin' their juice What you don't see Your mouth shouldn't say Without innuendo The words can never pay This rumour mill will Cease it's work today I heard a rumour You're headline news again Where do they get all this gossip from Is it ever gonna end? This endless chatter More exciting than the truth I heard a rumour bout you I heard them talking bout you I heard a rumour 'bout you
