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

SSo 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 even true                                       And you should!

And sometime  you’ll slip up, you’ll trip up                   When you lie , you’re closing the door

Whatever will become of you?                                                                 On everything good
