Lyrics
Original
Rumor Weed: Have you heard the one about Alfred?
A dangerous robot, I'm told
He's got lasers for eyes, and a microchip brain
His skin is terribly cold.
Mr. Nezzer: We've heard the one about Alfred
It's strange...
Dad Pea: Amazing!
Dad Carrot: But true!
Mr. Nezzer: But now that we've heard about Alfred
We'd like to hear more about you!
Rumor Weed: Moi?
I'm a rumor weed! I'm a rumor weed
A tiny little story is all I need
To make a big mess
I'm a rumor weed!
Mr. Nezzer: So what is a rumor?
Rumor Weed: It starts as a story
Maybe it's true, maybe not
But once you repeat it
It's hard to defeat it
Now look at the mess that you've got!
All: Uh huh!
Rumor Weed: Yeah, Alfred's a robot,
Everyone knows!
The story is all over town.
We rumor weeds know how a rumor can grow
Just like a big weed in the ground!
I'm a rumor weed!
All: Yes, it's true!
Rumor Weed: I'm a rumor weed!
All: Oo, oo, oo!
Rumor Weed: A tiny little story is all I need!
To make a big mess!
I'm a rumor weed!
I'm a rumor weed!
All: Yes, it's true!
Rumor Weed: I'm a rumor weed!
All: Oo, oo, oo!
Rumor Weed: A tiny little story is all I need!
All: You'd better watch out for the rumor weed!
Rumor Weed: I'm a rumor weed!
All: She's a rumor weed!
Rumor Weed: I'm a rumor weed!
All: Yeah, a rumor weed!
Rumor Weed: A tiny little story is all I need!
All: You'd better watch out for the rumor weed!
Rumor Weed: A tiny little story is all I need!
All: You'd better watch out for the rumor weed!
The W's Version
Have you heard the one about Alfred?
A dangerous robot, I'm told
He's got lasers for eyes and a microchip brain
And his skin is terribly cold
We've heard the one about Alfred
It's strange!
Amazing!
And true!
But now that we've heard about Alfred
We'd like to hear more about you
I'm a rumor weed
He's a rumor weed
I'm a rumor weed
He's a rumor weed
A tiny little story is all I need
To make a big mess
He's a rumor weed
So what is a rumor?
It starts as a story
Maybe it's true, maybe not
But once you repeat it
It's hard to defeat it
Now look at the mess that you've got
Alfred's a robot, everyone knows
The story is all over town
Us rumor weeds know how a rumor can grow
Just like a big weed in the ground
I'm a rumor weed
He's a rumor weed
I'm a rumor weed
He's a rumor weed
A tiny little story is all I need
To make a big mess
He's a rumor weed
Don't start a rumor
No, no
Don't start a rumor
Words can hurt, they spread like a tumor
So play it safe and don't start a rumor
I'm a rumor weed
He's a rumor weed
Yes, I'm a rumor weed
He's a rumor weed
A tiny little story is all I need
To make a big mess
A tiny little story is all I need
You better watch out for the rumor weed!
