Look, here comes a rumor
\nfull of flavor and oh my!
\nThere’s another little story soaring by.
\nHere comes a tale that’s sordid,
\ntart, and full of tricky things
\nI’m so lucky to have plucked its tiny wings.<\/p>\n
Rumors are the Spice of life
\nCausing stress and Causing strife
\nAnd it seems that ’tis the season
\nFor all to be told (within reason)
\nI’m ready for the flavor,
\nI’m ready for the spice.<\/p>\n
Boy, howdy, here’s a concept
\nHe said, she said, none of it’s true
\nWhat’s a poor rumormonger to do?
\nGive up? Not a chance, there’s always something just…
\nMake something up and hope that it sticks
\nFlavor the town with spicy tricks<\/p>\n
Rumors are the Spice of life
\nUnder duress and under the knife
\nAnd it seems that ’tis the season
\nFor all to be told (without a reason)
\nI’m ready for the flavor,
\nI’m ready for the spice.<\/p>\n
How ’bout something no one’s never heard!
\nLies are alright if nobody’s hurt
\nHey did you know? Becky stole her shirt!
\n(Becky and I know that’s not true, but the rumor’s been spread!)
\nFaster than lightning, faster than twice
\nSuddenly Becky’s job is on thin ice! (Whoops!)<\/p>\n
Rumors are the Spice of life
\nJust don’t get caught; it feels nice
\nTo spread rumors during the season
\nWhere all is told, including treason
\nWe’ve got all the flavor
\nWe’ve got all the spice.
\nAll for just doing
\nSomething not nice.
\nRumors are the Spice of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
