[Verse 1]
Janet Cooke - she wrote a story
To get herself a lot of glory
Well, she won a Pulitzer Prize
'Til they found out the story was a pack of lies
[Chorus]
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, pants on fire
You can't believe what you read
[Verse 2]
Then everybody was throwin' blame
Of old Ben Bradlee of Watergate fame
He's the editor of The Washington Post
A paper people look up to the most
Then there was scandal coast to coast
[Chorus]
Liar, liar, pants on fire
You can't beliеve what you read
Liar, liar, pants on fire
You just can't bеlieve what you read
[Verse 3]
Now, I read The Herald and I read The Times
And everything I read is a pack of lies
I read The Herald and I read The Times
Everything I read is a pack of lies
[Chorus]
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, pants on fire
You can't believe what you read
[Verse 1]
Janet Cooke - she wrote a story
To get herself a lot of glory
Well, she won a Pulitzer Prize
'Til they found out the story was a pack of lies
[Chorus]
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, pants on fire
You can't believe what you read
You just can't believe what you read
