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 tour ears!                                     'Till the whole wide world will know

    so you tell four lies to try protect you                                                       you're lying

Then you tell five lies so folks won't respect                                               Then you'll be

                                 you                                                                                      suspected

    Then you tell six lies and you'll collect                                                          Detected

        A life filled with worries and fears                                                             Rejected

'Cause you can't remember how many lies                                                      Neglected

                            You've told                                                                                Disliked

   And half the things you say aren't true

And sometime you'll slip up, you''l trip up

                            and then

         Whatever will become of you ?
