You Better Let That Liar Alone

            D
    Just let me tell you how a liar will do,
                                             A
    he's always coming with something new,
              D
    he'll steal your heart with false pretence,
                                              A          D
    making out like he's your bosom friend.

D                                                   A                              D
If you don't want to get in trouble, if you don't want to get in trouble,
D                                                              D         A      D
if you don't want to get in trouble, better let that liar alone.

                  D
    When a liar takes the notion to bend the truth,
                                                            A
    he'll lay around his neighbors and get the news,
              D
    and nearly every day when you look out,
                                                  A            D
    you can see that liar coming to your house.

D                                                   A                              D
If you don't want to get in trouble, if you don't want to get in trouble,
D                                                              D         A      D
if you don't want to get in trouble, better let that liar alone.

             D
    He'll tell you such a lie, it'll surprise your mind,
                                                A
    he'll mix a little truth for to make it shine,
                    D
    when he gets his business fixed just right,
                                           A          D
    then that liar's going to cause a fight.

D                                                   A                              D
If you don't want to get in trouble, if you don't want to get in trouble,
D                                                              D         A      D
if you don't want to get in trouble, better let that liar alone.

            D
    He studies up a lie, he'll tell it so smooth,
                                                   A
    you'll think absolutely that it must be true,
                   D
    and he'll urge you out for to trace the tale,
                                                      A      D
    and if you don't mind you'll be put in jail.

D                                                   A                              D
If you don't want to get in trouble, if you don't want to get in trouble,
D                                                              D         A      D
if you don't want to get in trouble, better let that liar alone.

               D
    When everything's in perfect peace,
                                             A
    then comes that liar with his deceit,
         D
    a hypocrite liar both keeps up a fuss,
                                                A              D
    they're both very bad but a liar's the worse.

D                                                   A                              D
If you don't want to get in trouble, if you don't want to get in trouble,
D                                                              D         A      D
if you don't want to get in trouble, better let that liar alone.
