My teacher told me I should never tell a lie Because a lie will bring you trouble sure as pie It's an awful thing to do, and it's true as true as true You'll get caught and then you'll start to cry You'll have a horrid, painful pounding in your head And then you'll feel your face get hot and turn bright red Then your heart will start to thump In your throat you'll get a lump And you'll feel so bad you'll wish that you could lie right down and die You're just better off to never tell a lie Not even sometimes! Remember, never, never tell a lie
