You say you heard it through the grapevine,
But that vine is kinda long,
And by the time you heard it,
It may have been all wrong!…
My mailman's uncle's sister's doctor's former auto mechanic
Said that killer fleas bigger than killer bees are here,
And I'm in a panic!
Joe had said Bill lost his head
In that car crash just yesterday, (Well I called Bill up)
He said the truth was that he lost a tooth,
And it was loose anyway!
It's just a lotta, it's just a lotta lotta…
[Chorus]:
Second hand (second hand) information,
It's twisted all around! Sideways and upside down!
Oh there may not be much truth to be found in
Second hand (second hand), second hand information!
I heard that Grace took Susie's place
And she's now Jim's new girlfriend.
When I asked Jim it was news to him, he said
«Those words, don't believe them!»
I told Heather that my brother was driving to Nebraska,
But soon you see here's what got back to me —
My mother was skydiving in Alaska!
It's just a lotta, it's just a lotta lotta,
[Chorus]
He said, she said, they said, we said…
You don't know what to believe!
If you want the truth of course,
You've gotta go right to the source…
You can't count on
[Chorus]
Oh, there may not be much truth to be found
In second hand (second hand),
Third hand (fourth hand), fifth hand, (seventh hand)
Eighth hand, (tenth hand)…
Second hand (second hand), second hand information
