Well once I was persuaded
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 conversation's through
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 a 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 my self-respect
They told me I was curious
I told them they were slow
And he asked me where I get this stuff
I told them I don't know
The boy cried whoopi de dee
There's a woman with a moustache
Who won't let me be
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 a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

Well o[A]nce I was persuaded
To [D]open up my head
I [A]told them how it was
And went and [E]got it wrong instead
I s[A]aid would you believe me
I[D]f you only knew
I[A]'d been stealing everything
This [E]conversation's th[A]rough
[A5]The [C5]boy cried [D5]hang him at t[E5]hree
I [E5]saw him on the [D5]front page l[C5]aughing[G5] at [A5]me
He [A5]worked in a f[C5]airground, [D5]in a tall [E5]hat
He's a [E5]liar, he's a l[D5]iar
And a g[C5]ood one[G5] at t[A5]hat
S[A5]ay what you [C5]want to, [D5]say what you [E5]will
W[E5]rite your n[D5]umber on my [C5]tele[G5]phone [A5]bill
W[A5]alk like a [C5]monkey, k[D5]ick like a [E5]mule
I[E5] could be a b[D5]eggar, but I'd r[C5]ather [G5]be j[E5]ust [G5]as c[A5]ruel [E5]

So I [A]told them all I could
About w[D]hat could they expect
But I l[A]ost my sense of smell
And I g[E]ained my self-respect
They t[A]old me I was curious
I t[D]old them they were slow
And he a[A]sked me where I get this stuff
I t[E]old them I don't k[A]now
[A5]The [C5]boy cried w[D5]hoopi de [E5]dee
There's a [E5]woman with a m[D5]oustache
Who w[C5]on't let[G5] me [A5]be
She was b[A5]orn on a [C5]Monday
She's a h[D5]undred and f[E5]our
She's a [E5]liar, she's a [D5]liar
And a l[C5]ittle [G5]bit [A5]more
S[A5]ay what you [C5]want to, [D5]say what you [E5]will
W[E5]rite your n[D5]umber on my [C5]tele[G5]phone [A5]bill
