Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why you lied That was not a nice thing to do Not a nice thing to do It wasn't very nice of you Not a nice thing to do Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why when you got caught in it you told the same lie That was not a nice thing to do Not a nice thing to do Wasn't very nice of you Not a nice thing to do Tell me why Tell me why Tell me why you made threats against the life of the prime minister of Canada That was not a nice thing to do Not a nice thing to do It wasn't very nice of you Not a nice thing to do
