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.

(Musical Break)

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.
