A
Well once I was persuaded
D
To open up my head
A
I told them how it was
E
And went and got it wrong instead
A
I said would you believe me
D
If you only knew
A
I'd been stealing everything
E A
This conversation's through
A5 C5 D5 E5*
The boy cried hang him at three
E5* D5 C5 A5
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
A5 C5 D5 E5*
He worked in a fairground, in a tall hat
E5* D5
He's a liar, he's a liar
C5 A5
And a good one at that
A5 C5 D5 E5*
Say what you want to, say what you will
E5* D5 C5 A5
Write your number on my telephone bill
A5 C5 D5 E5*
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
E5* D5 C5 A5 E5 G5 A5 E5*
I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

A
So I told them all I could
D
About what could they expect
A
But I lost my sense of smell
E
And I gained my self-respect
A
They told me I was curious
D
I told them they were slow
A
And he asked me where I get this stuff
E A
I told them I don't know
A5 C5 D5 E5*
The boy cried whoopi de dee
E5* D5
There's a woman with a moustache
C5 A5
Who won't let me be
A5 C5
She was born on a Monday
D5 E5*
She's a hundred and four
E5* D5
She's a liar, she's a liar
C5 A5
And a little bit more
A5 C5 D5 E5*
Say what you want to, say what you will
E5* D5 C5 A5
Write your number on my telephone bill
A5 C5 D5 E5*
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
