How many rumors strike our ears
How many gossips undermine like moles
There are rumors
that everything is getting more expensive
But especially table salt

And like houseflies
here and there
rumors travel
along the houses
And toothless old women
hang them up on the corners

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

"Listen I heard that they’re building a city underground"
"Yes they say it’s in case of nuclear war"
"Yes did you hear that all the saunas will shut down
Forever and these are true facts."

And like houseflies
here and there
rumors travel
along the houses
And toothless old women
hang them up on the corners

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

"But did you know That they’re taking away Mamykin
For perversion they say, because of alcoholism and his uproars
And by the way, by the way, they’re taking away your neighbor that scoundrel
Because he looks that Beria."

And like houseflies
here and there
rumors travel
along the houses
And toothless old women
hang them up on the corners

"Oh, they were digging up a trench yesterday
And hit some pipes and two fountains of cognac erupted!"
"They say that spies have poisoned the water
And that bread now is made from fish scales!"

And like houseflies
here and there
rumors travel
along the houses
And toothless old women
hang them up on the corners

Tempered into many different versions
Rumors are broadcast without any obstacle
Here come the gossips, so that there won’t be any more rumors
You’ve got to stop the gossip

And like houseflies
here and there
rumors travel
along the houses
And toothless old women
hang them up on the corners
