When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another              

  So you can tell two lies to cover each other

 Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

     You're in trouble up to your ears!

 So you can tell four lies to try to protect you

  Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect

                                     you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

            A life filled with worries and fears

‘Cause you cant remember how many lies

                                     you’ve told

            And half the things you say aren’t true

And sometime you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up

                                    and then

Whatever will become of you?

 So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep

multiplying

‘Till the whole wide world will know

                                    you’re lying

                        Then you’ll be

                           Suspected

                            Detected

                            Rejected

                           Neglected

                             Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good
