Paint a rumour
(what's it gonna spread?)
Paint a rumour
(see the place go red)
I could tell you something
(promise not to tell)
I could tell you something
(promise not to sell)

It's a secret

I have heard a whisper
I have heard a whisper
(what did it say?)
I have heard a whisper
(make it go away)
Don't beleive a word of it
(promise not to tell)
Don't repeat a word of it
(promise not to sell)
