This is a song about rumors
Words & Music (C) Helmut Licht

I was the object of a false rumor and decided to write a song about it.

. ABOUT RUMORS
THE OTHER DAY I DIDN'T WATCH MY STEP
SOMEBODY SAW ME AND THEY COULDN'T QUITE FORGET
I RAN INTO A GOOD OLD SCHOOL FRIEND OF MINE
AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE GOOD OLD TIME
BUT WHO EVER SAW US THOUGHT THEY SAW MUCH MORE
AND TOLD IT TO THE MAN NEXT DOOR
LET THEM TALK ABOUT ME,
SQUAWK ABOUT ME
AND SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
YOU SEE, I KNOW WHAT I AM,
I'M PROUD OF MY NAME
AND I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THEIR GAME
I JUST WANT TO BE MYSELF
AND DO AND SAY WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT
THE MAN NEXT DOOR TALKED TO HIS DEAREST FRIENDS
AND TOLD THEM ALL IN STRICTEST CONFIDENCE
HE SAID HE DIDN'T THINK THIS COULD BE TRUE
AND: "I REALLY SHOULDN'T TELL ALL THIS TO YOU!"
BUT HE TOLD IT ANYWAY AND ADDED MORE
AND NOW IT'S IN THE GROCERY STORE
LET THEM TALK ABOUT ME,
SQUAWK ABOUT ME
AND SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
YOU SEE, I KNOW WHAT I AM,
I'M PROUD OF MY NAME
AND I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THEIR GAME
I JUST WANT TO BE MYSELF
AND DO AND SAY WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT
MY FRIEND I'M SINGING YOU THIS SONG
CAUSE I THINK THAT SPREADING RUMORS IS SO WRONG
RUMORS NEVER LOOK YOU IN THE FACE _
AND THEIR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO BRING DISGRACE
IF IT'S ABOUT YOU, DON'T YOU WORRY AND DISMAY
JUST SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS AND THEN SAY:
LET THEM TALK ABOUT ME,
SQUAWK ABOUT ME
AND SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
YOU SEE, I KNOW WHAT I AM,
I'M PROUD OF MY NAME
AND I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THEIR GAME
I JUST WANT TO BE MYSELF
AND DO AND SAY WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT
