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 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

So you tell four lies to try to protect you                      you’re lying

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

                             You                                                  suspected

                                                                                       Detected

Then you tell six lies and you’ll collect                         Rejected        

A lie filled with worries and fears                                Neglected

Cause you can’t remember how many lies                     Disliked

                      You've told                                          and you should!

And half the things you say aren't true        when you lie, you’re closing the door

And sometime you’ll slip up, you'll trip up            on everything good

                           And then

Whatever will you become?
