Lyrics:

Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire

Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
You've been out all night, know you've been bad
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
Come kill me, honey, see how I cry

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

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

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

The awkward dance you do when you've washed your hands in a public restroom and there are no more paper towels to dry them off.

Mrs. Howell is one of those rare people who dance to the beat of their own drummer.

@smokiebird06 You've got to figure this is about 1966, which would have made Natalie Shaefer (Mrs. Howell) a young woman in the 20's and 30s (she was born in 1900) ... the dancing styles were alot different then. The dancing was more sweeping and most of the dances (with the exception of dances like the Charleston) were danced with a partner.
