Great little song, and Brendan Hines did a great job playing it, slight lyric changes notwithstanding. This is a great song for kids to hear and sing in the presence of adults. Are you a dad? 'Cause I hope you'll sing this to your kids!

I say I'm 10 when I'm 9 and half.
My Uncle Tells a joke and I try to laugh
In gym I fake a headache, but I want to quit
I say I love the sweater that my Grandma knit.

But that was...

Chorus 1:

A white lie
(Sing as echo in "Lie To Me" epsisode the children sing this part) White Lie
That's a white lie
(Sing as echo) white lie
That's the kind you want to tell
(Children sing too) A white lie
So your mom won't have to yell
A white lie
(sing echo) White Lie
Everybody does it cause it feels alright and it's more polite
But a lies still a lie, even when it's white

I pretend I'm asleep when my dad walk's in
I said I ate my chicken, but I just ate the skin
You speak and say your lie and when your mouth says not
Your pants are on fire, but their not too hot

When it's a...

Chorus 2

White Lie
(sing echo) White Lie
It's the kind you want to tell
A white lie
So your dad won't have to yell
A white lie
(sing echo) white lie
Everybody does it, cause it feels alright and it's more polite
but a lie's still a lie, even when it's white

While it might be hard, to say what's true,
would you want a white lie told to you?

Cool!

It´s a catchy song n__n I´ve being singing this song the entire week (since I saw the episode).

What about the chords? Please *O*

Sarah Danks

You should, indeed, be quite proud of this song. I was charmed when I heard it on the show and am delighted that you have been so generous as to share both the MP3 and the sheet music. I've passed both on to the moms and dads of our 5 grandkids. That's a great song for Sunday school, Scouts, and just helping kids learn about honesty.
Thanks so much for writing it!

Carole Teel

This is an awesome song! You should be very proud of your work!!! Thanks so much for sharing the MP3 and sheet music with us - 'cause ever since I heard it on the show, I couldn't get it out of my head and kept coming back to hear it again and again. Keep up the good work and I look forward to hearing more work from you!

Jill

I saw this episode 2 days ago and I can't get the song out of my head. What are the chords for it?? I would love to learn how to play it at my elementary school?

Zach

Hi Zach,

I loved this song! It's a sweet tune with great lyrics. My son is autistic, and this will be a wonderful song to teach him as he grows up, since autistic kids really struggle with "white lies"... Thanks so much for the song, and making it available.
