Tell Me A Lie - The Fratellis

Well once I was peruaded to open up my head

I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead

I said would you believe me if you only knew

I’d been stealing everything this conversations through

And the boy cried hang him at three

I saw him on the front page laughing at me He worked in a fairground in a tall hat

He’s a liar he’s a liar and a good one at that

Say what you want to say what you will

Write your number on my telephone bill

Walk like a monkey kick like a mule

I could be your beggar but i’d rather be just as cruel

So I told them all I could about what could they expect

But I lost my sense of smell and I gained myself respect

They told me I was curious I told them they were slow

They asked me were I get this stuff I told them I don’t know

And the boy cried whoopy de dee

There’s a woman with a mustache who won’t let me be Though she was born on a monday

She’s a hundred and four

She’s a liar she’s a liar and a little bit more

Say what you want to say what you will

Write your number on my telephone bill

Walk like a monkey kick like a mule

I could be your beggar but i’d rather be just as cruel

And the boy cried hang him at three

I saw him on the front page laughing at me He worked in a fairground in a tall hat

He’s a liar he’s a liar and a good one at that

Say what you want to say what you will

Write your number on my telephone bill

Walk like a monkey kick like a mule

I could be your beggar but i’d rather be just as cruel
