When You Tell One Lie

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

 So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, oh Brother,

You’re in trouble up to you ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won’t be suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect

A life filled with no worries and fears

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell would keep multiplying

Till the whole wide world will know you’re lying

Then you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Dislike

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good
