Well oAnce I was persuaded
To Dopen up my head
I Atold them how it was
And went and Egot it wrong instead
I sAaid would you believe me
IDf you only knew
IA'd been stealing everything
This Econversation's thArough

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 gC5ood oneG5 at tA5hat
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*

I could be a beggar, but I'd rather be just as cruel

So I Atold them all I could
About wDhat could they expect
But I lAost my sense of smell
And I gEained my self-respect
They tAold me I was curious
I tDold them they were slow
And he aAsked me where I get this stuff
I tEold them I don't kAnow
A5 C5 D5 E5*
The boy cried whoopi de dee
E5* D5
There's a woman with a moustache
Who wC5on't letG5 me A5be
She was bA5orn on a C5Monday

She's a hundred and four
E5* D5
She's a liar, she's a liar
And a lC5ittle G5bit A5more
A5 C5 D5 E5*
Say what you want to, say what you will

Write your number on my telephone bill
