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!
