Liar, liar, pants on fire
Deceiver, dissembler
Your trousers are alight
From what pole or gallows
?Shall they dangle in the night
When I asked of your career
Why did you have to kick my rear
With that stinking lie of thine
?Proclaiming that you owned a mine
When you asked to borrow my stallion
To visit a nearby-moored galleon
How could I ever know that you
?Intended only to turn him into glue
What red devil of mendacity
?Grips your soul with such tenacity
Will one you cruelly shower with lies
?Put a pistol ball between your eyes
What infernal serpent
?Has lent you his forked tongue
From what pit of foul deceit
?Are all these whoppers sprung
Deceiver, dissembler
Your trousers are alight
From what pole or gallows
?Do they dangle in the night
William Blake
