Chorus:
D
Tell the truth, * *
Tell the truth, * *
We should always tell the
A
truth! * *
Don’t stretch it or change it,
Or add something to it,
A7
We should always tell the
D
truth!
D
I caught a fish just yesterday.
I should always tell the
A
truth!
It was so big – well, just this big.
A7
I should not stretch the
D
truth!
*
Chorus
That fish it was so very strong.
I should always tell the truth!
I caught it myself – well, I had some help.
I should not change the truth!
Chorus
That fish was swimming in the lake.
I should always tell the truth.
And I swam with him—well my toes were in!
I should not add to the truth!
Chorus
(Tune: Polly Wolly Doodle)
