Liar Liar

Still another one-hit wonder: Minneapolis punkers the Castaways took this

rant to #12 in October, 1965. Dave Marsh: 'Twenty years later, Prince

came out of the same town with two-finger organ riffs that surpassed

this one, but it took that long to beat 'em.' -- AWR

Liar, liar, pants on fire

Your nose is longer than a telephone wire

Verse 1:

Ask me, baby, why I'm sad

You been out all night, know you been bad

Don't tell me different, know it's a lie

Come kill me, honey, see how I cry

(organ chords, repeated after each verse)

Verse 2:

Why must you hurt me, do what you do

Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you

Make a little effort, try to be true

I'll be happy, not so blue

Verse 3:

If you keep on tellin' me those lies

Still goin' out with other guys

There'll come a day I'll be gone

Take my advice, won't be long

Verse 4:

When that day comes, won't be mad

Be free of you, but I'll still be sad

In spite of your cheatin', still love you so

I'll be unhappy if I let you go
