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 won’t suspect                                 Then you’ll be      

                              You                                                                      Suspected

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect                                              Detected

Al life filled with worries and fears                                                    Rejected

‘Cause you can’t remember how many lies                                        Neglected 

                   You’ve told                                                                       Disiliked

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

And sometime 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?
