When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

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 your ears! 

 So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect

You 

    Then you tell six lies and you'll collect

      A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies

 you've told

  And half the things you say aren't true 

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

  and then 

         Whatever will become of you? 

So you lie and lie without even trying

    And each lie you tell will keep 

multiplying

'Till the whole wide world will know 

    you're lying

      Then you'll be 

    Suspected 

     Detected 

    Rejected 

     Neglected 

 Disliked

 And you should!

When you lie, you're closing the door 

   On everything good
