[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Sub-Bass, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
Watch his mouth
(Watch him go)
Truth comes north
(Then heads south!)
Round and round
(The same old sound)
Another glory “his” story
(Another shroud!)
… for crying out loud!
[Verse 1]
He says the sky is green today
Then swears the blue has gone away
He tells us black is really white
And changes sides before the night
A promise made, a promise bent
A million words, but what was meant?
The facts are knocking at the door
He says he’s never heard them before!
[Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.
He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.
[Verse 2]
He says he won when he lost the race
Then puts a grin on his lying face
He blames the crowd, he blames the game
He changes facts but keeps his name
Add more spin, blow more smoke
A grand old promise, another joke
Check the record, check the score
The truth keeps knocking evermore!
[Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.
He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.
[Bridge]
Moo, moo, moo
(What’s he trying to do?)
Spin, spin, spin
(Where does truth begin?)
[Breakdown]
Fact-check!
(What the heck?)
Double-check!
(What’s next?)
Words are cheap
(Promises steep)
Watch what they do
(Does he have a clue!)
A claim’s not true because it’s loud
A lie’s not truth because it’s proud
Don’t take the bait, don’t buy the show
Look at the facts before you go
The proof is there for all to see
If we can face reality
[Final Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.
He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.
How can you tell he’s lying?
(Check the facts!)
How can you tell he’s lying?
(Watch how he acts!)
Moo, moo, moo
(We see through you!)
Spin, spin, spin
(Truth will win!)
[Outro]
Moo, moo, moo!
(What’s he gonna do?)
La, la, la!
(Lie to you!)
Words may twist
(Facts persist)
Lips may flap
(There’s the trap!)
How can you tell?
(You know it well!)
Check the facts…
And ring that bell!
About the Song
Fact-checking organizations have documented tens of thousands of false or misleading statements by Donald Trump throughout his political career. Because tracking criteria and scopes differ among media outlets, there is no single consensus figure, but comprehensive databases provide the following counts:
• The Washington Post Fact Checker: 30,573 false or misleading claims
• PolitiFact: rated approximately 76% of the Trump statements they examined as “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants on Fire”.
