To Lie and Cheat and Steal

Children, here’s a lesson

That you may not have known

Some things you do when you are small

You may still do when you’re grown

To lie and cheat and steal

Is never any good

You may think that you’re oh so smart

But you’re the joke of the neighborhood

Early Sunday moments

When you should be in church

You stay home and plot your deeds

To leave your friends all in a lurch

Some people, even though they’re smart

Mean – evil things they do

I promise, If you keep it up

It will catch up with you!

If you try to cheat a neighbor

If you lie to your new friend

No one will ever like you

You’ll be the loser in the end

Kids, please learn this lesson

So the neighborhood won’t say

“The Liar – Cheaters gone now …

Cause it’s EVICTION day!”

If you ever have to move away

And make a brand new start

Be NICE to your new neighbors

Show them you have a heart

You can have a second chance

You’ll have a clear clean slate

So get you act together

Before it is too late!

If you see yourself here

Learn this lesson well

At the Pearly Gates there’s Heaven

But keep doing bad … there’s … Hell!
