When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

Paul Hitch

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

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

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,                             ‘Till the whole wide world will know you’re lying

You’re in trouble up to your ears!                                                                   Then you’ll be

So you tell four lies to try to protect you                                                             suspected

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Then you tell five lies so folks wont suspect                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Detected

You                                                                                                                   Neglected

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect                                                                Rejected

A life filled with worries and fears                                                                     Disliked

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies                                                    And you should!

You’ve told                                                                                       When you lie, you’re closing the door

And half of the things you say aren’t true                                              On everything good

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

And then

Whatever will become of you?
