I’m not one to lie to others
But one must entertain
When the tale isn’t as good as it should be
I’ll upholster the truth without shame
I’ll remember the feelings
And most of the facts
I make the rest of it up
And give all the bad bits the axe
I’ve got stories to tell
To regale and amaze you
They all really happened
And they’re all mostly true
I don’t tell the big lies
The ones that go wrong
I lightly embellish the real tales
To move them nicely along
If the bit is a bad one
And I can’t sugar coat it
And I can’t sugar coat it
My memory will crap out
The story continues without it
I’ve got stories to tell
To regale and amaze you
They all really happened
And they’re all mostly true
