Jon Blund: hope you won't mind one or two suggestions about the lyrics.Used to think it was "Charlie boy" being addressed by the singer, but now I listen again, it could just as easily be Johnny.In the first "Did you know ... " segment, I've always heard that final line as:"Do you think that people in high places never score?"And in the second, I hear:"And did you know that the man in the green skin has got green feet?" (The term "green skin" might have some significance in certain strata of society, but the real meaning of it has always escaped me. Can anyone else help?)

I can't find the lyrics to this song. EVERY lyrics site I visit gives the lyrics to another song. I go on to every lyrics site, search for 'Rumours' by Hot Chocolate and I get a song that begins 'Darling do you take me for some kinda fool' - totally different lyrics!! Anybody reading this - try it and see for yourself. What's happening? Can anybody advise?

@tommieparch which ones were they? Hot Chocolate always wrote their own songs, they didn't rely on songwriting teams like Martin & Coulter or Chinn & Chapman for their success.

It was the follow-up to Brother Louie. Yes - too similar, I guess, to match the success of the earlier record. But I always preferred this one, myself. Really conjures up the edgy kind of atmosphere in which rumours can develop and run riot. And some nice touches of zany humour as a bonus.

Hadn't heard this for over 35 yrs! 5*. BTW I can see why it stalled at #44 as it's very like 'Brother Louie'.
