LITTLE BOY WHO NEVER TOLD A LIE, THE
(Tommy Connor, Manny Sherwin)
As recorded by:
Bebe Daniels, Acc. By Orchestra Dir. Jay Wilbur
Recorded 21st May 1941
Everybody loves him,
Now I’ll tell you why
‘Cos he was the little boy
Who never told a lie
He became so famous
As the years went by
‘Cos he was the little boy
Who never told a lie
One day in the garden
He cut down Daddy’s cherry tree
And when the tree was found, a-lying on the ground
He owned up as honest as could be
So, children please remember
Promise that you’ll try
To be like Georgie Washington
Who never told a lie.

One day in the garden
He cut down Daddy’s cherry tree
And when the tree was found, a-lying on the ground
He owned up as honest as could be
So, children please remember
Promise that you’ll try
To be like Georgie Washington
Who never told a lie.
