| It's a Lie |
(YEARS AGO)
And there's nothing in this world I do not know
(DO NOT KNOW)
I saw Peter, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses, and I'll lick the guy who says it isn't so.
(IT ISN'T SO)
Chorus:
It's a lie; It's a lie; Ships ahoy, ships ahey, ships a hi-hi-hi!
Oh, I've sailed the seven seas and I've sniffed the salty breeze.
But I never, ever, ever, saw a mermaid.
(A MERMAID?)
I was there when Satan looked the garden o'er
(GARDEN O'ER)
I saw Adam and Eve a'driven from the door.
(FROM THE DOOR)
I was round the corner peekin' at the apple they was eatin'
I can prove it I'm the guy that ate the core.
(ATE THE CORE)
I was there when Caeser crossed the Rubicon
(RUBICON)
I'm the guy who built the raft he crossed it on.
(CROSSED IT ON)
I saw a Nero burning Rome, and Hannibal at home.
I even saw the fall of Babylon.
(BABBLE ON)
I saw Washington afloat a cake of ice.
(CAKE OF ICE)
I saw Sherman, Lee, and Grant a shakin' dice.
(SHAKIN' DICE)
I saw Rosevelt's great laugh
that split his face in half,
While Perishing set a trap for German mice.
(GERMAN ICE)
You may think that all this is bunk, it isn't true.
(ISN'T TRUE)
But what difference does it really make to you?
(MAKE TO YOU)
I've been feeding you these lines just to pass away the time,
And now I'm going to quit because I'm through.
(YOU'RE THROUGH)
