The Liar
(T. Makem/Keady Music)
Chorus:
Singin' whack fol toor a laddy toor a lee.
There is no one who can tell a lie like me
You may search until you tire.
You won't find a bigger liar.
I've been lyin' since the dawn of history.
1 was born about ten thousand years ago.
In Belmullet in the county of Mayo;
It was me that chased the vermin.
While St. Patrick preached a sermon
And I'll whup the man that says it isn't so.
Chorus:
I saw Eve go pickin' apples off a tree.
She came over and she offered one to me.
I said "Now look here Madam,
Go and try your luck with Adam."
And went home and had some fish and chips and tea.
Chorus:
I saw Delilah cuttin' Samson's hair.
She snipped away until his head was bare;
When he couldn't run away.
She married him next day.
And they opened up a barbershop in Clare.
Chorus:
When Cromwell came to Ireland years ago.
He didn't shed a drop of Irish blood you know;
All the Irish started grievin'
When they heard that he was leavin'
If I knew a bigger lie, I'd tell you so.
Chorus:
Twas durin' World War II I met them all.
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and DeGaulle.
One day I nearly fainted,
I was havin' my house painted.
There was Hitler hangin' paper in the hall.
