      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     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
       C5     G5   A5
And a good one at that

 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

     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      G5  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    G5  A5
And a little bit more

 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
