Lyrics
A Lie Is A Lie (The Spy Song) / Jim Buckley 7-08<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
A lie is a lie<br />
And a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
A lie is a lie<br />
And a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
And if a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
How can you tell if it’s the truth he’s giving?<br />
A lie is a lie and a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
<br />
Verse 1<br />
He started off telling everyday lies<br />
Then he told the medium size<br />
Then he told those great big lies<br />
That’s how he became a super spy<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
A lie is a lie<br />
And a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
A lie is a lie<br />
And a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
And if a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
How can you tell if it’s the truth he’s giving?<br />
A lie is a lie and a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
<br />
Verse 2<br />
He started off as an everyday spy<br />
Then he became a double spy<br />
Then he became a triple spy<br />
And my oh my he became a quadruple spy<br />
But he really knew that he had got it made<br />
He really knew that he had made the grade<br />
When he became a Pentagon spy<br />
<br />
Chorus B<br />
Pentagon spies they lie for a living<br />
Pentagon spies they lie for a living<br />
Pentagon spies they lie for a living<br />
They say things like “There are Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq”<br />
Oh, a lie is a lie and a spy will tell a lie for a living<br />
