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

The boy cried hang him at three
E5 D5 C5 G5 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
And a g[C5]ood one[G5] at t[A5]hat
A5 C5 D5 E5
Say what you want to, say what you will
E5 D5 C5 G5 A5
Write your number on my telephone bill
A5 C5 D5 E5
Walk like a monkey, kick like a mule
E5 D5 C5 G5 E5 G5 A5 E5
I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel
E5 G5 A5 E5
E5 G5 A5 E5
E5 G5 A5 E5
[E5] [G5]
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 C5 D5 E5
The boy cried whoopi de dee
E5 D5
There's a woman with a moustache
Who w[C5]on't let[G5] me [A5]be
She was b[A5]orn on a [C5]Monday
D5 E5
She's a hundred and four
E5 D5
She's a liar, she's a liar
And a l[C5]ittle [G5]bit [A5]more
A5 C5 D5 E5
Say what you want to, say what you will
E5 D5 C5 G5 A5
