When you tell a lie it leads to another

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

So you tell tow 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 won’t suspect                                                then you’ll be

You                                                                                                                                 suspected

Then tell six lies and you’ll collect                                                                      detected

 A life filled with worries and fears                                                                    rejected

Because you can’t remember how many lies                                               neglected

You’ve told                                                                                                                 disliked

And half the things you say aren’t true                                                           and you should!

And sometimes you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up                         when you lie, you’re closing the door

And then                                                                                                          on everything good

Whatever will become of you?
