WHEN YOU TELL ONE LIE IT LEADS TO ANOTHER

When You Tell One lie it Leads to Another

                                      Paul Hatch

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

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

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,                            multiplying       You’re in trouble up to your ears!                    ‘Till the whole 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

      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 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?
