I Can't Tell a Lie

Fred Astaire

Lyrics

I could say that you're homely,

Just as homely as pie!

But this is Washington's birthday,

And I've got to say you're beautiful,

'Cause I can't tell a lie!

I could say that you're stupid,

Nothing up in your crown!

But this is Washington's birthday,

And the truthful he

Of the cherry tree

Would look down on me

And frown!

I could say that I hate you if I try,

But I've got to say that I love you,

'Cause it's February the twenty second

And I can't tell a lie!

I could say that you're homely,

Just as homely as pie!

But this is Washington's birthday,

And I've got to say you're beautiful,

'Cause I can't tell a lie!

I could say that you're stupid,

Nothing up in your crown!

But this is Washington's birthday,

And the truthful he

Of the cherry tree

Would look down on me

And frown!

I could say that I hate you if I try,

But I've got to say that I love you,

'Cause it's February the twenty second

And I can't tell a lie!
