    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.
