Lying Song

Let me ask you if you know
The story of a puppet, Pinocchio
He had a habit that caused his wooden nose to grow and grow
The courts, they'll try you for perjury
You can't cut it off in surgery
So if you want to keep that pretty nose small
Don't tell tales that are told

Once I stole a piece of cake
My mama asked me, did I take
I said, "No," she cried, "Take"
Oh, please don't lie to me

Don't lie, it's not nice
It's not a virtue, it's a vice
Get away once, but honey, not twice
Oh, please don't lie to me

Now, I'm not saying that everything's got to be black or white
For instance, the sun's a star and it don't shine at night
But for every shade of gray that lies between night and day
Stick to a light one, everything's going to be okay

Now, I'm not saying that every bit of light has got to be shared
You know, some things are just better left unsaid
You know what I mean
When I ask you where you are
Indisposed, I'm sure you are
Don't tell me you've been with him
When you know you've been with her

Ah, but when my time comes to pass away
I'll meet St. Peter on that Judgement Day
I know what he's going to say
"Oh, please don't lie to me"

"Oh, please don't lie to me"
"Oh, please don't lie to me"
