My name is Lying Tongue.
I have done nothing wrong.
I prevaricate and prevaricate
Because of Truth! whom I hate.
With Truth I have tried to make
amends,
But he refuses to be friends!
I have traveled the world over:
Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, Dover ---
Everywhere! --- I've been received
with open arms;
People just love for my charms;
That's why, with Truth, I will never see
Why he won't shake hands with me.
As it is, tho, I am happy with my fate;
Why, I really haven't got a single
complaint.
O sure, with Truth I'd love a truce,
But I'm not about to be a dumb
moose.
So, in a nutshell, then, all in all, I have
brung
Peace, peace, and MORE peace, or my
name ain't Lying Tongue.
