When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another                     So you lie and lie without even trying

So you tell two lies to cover each other                                 And each lie you tell will keep

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,                                           multiplying

You’re in trouble up to your ears!                              ‘Till the whole wide world will know

So you tell four lies to try to protect you                                            you’re lying

Then you tell five lies so folks wont suspect you                                Then you’ll be

The you’ll tell six lies and you’ll collect                                              Suspected

A life with worries and fears                                                              Detected

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies you’ve told                    Rejected

And half the things you say aren’t true                                              Neglected

And sometimes you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up                                       Disliked

                        and then                                                                And you should!

Whatever will become of you?                                   When you lie, you’re closing the door

                                                                                                    On everything good
