The Rumor Lyrics - Little River Band

It all started out by a word of mouth 

Moving fast on a whim 

It went all through the suburbs, 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 again 

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 again 

(Now) 

Start the rumor again 

Start the rumor again 

(Yeah) 

Start the rumor 

Start the rumor 

Start the rumor
