WELL YOU SAID THAT YOU'D BE HOME EARLY
YOU'RE TRUE TO YOUR WORD AGAIN
CAUSE IT'S 8 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
AND HERE YOU COME CRAWLIN' IN
WELL HONEY THAT'S A HELL OF A STORY
BUT I'M AFRAID IT JUST WON'T FLY
CAUSE NOTHIN' BUT A FOOL COULD SWALLOW
SUCH A HALF COOKED ALIBI
YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIE RIGHT
CAUSE I KNOW WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT
DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT FLAT TIRE, WASN'T NEAR A PHONE
OUT OF GAS, DIDN'T HAVE A QUARTER, COULDN'T CALL HOME
THAT OLD LINE WON'T WORK ON ME
HONEY I KNOW YOU TOO WELL
YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIE RIGHT BOY
CAUSE IT'S THE LAST ONE YOU'RE GONNA TELL
SHE SAID, I COULD TELL YOU HAD A GOOD TIME
ISN'T THAT CHANEL NUMBER 5
BABY YOU THINK YOU GOT LUCKY
WELL YOU'RE LUCKY JUST TO BE ALIVE
IF THAT OLD TUNE THAT YOU'RE HUMMIN'
IS THE BEST THAT YOU CAN DO
I GOT A MIND TO LOOSEN UP
THOSE TEETH YOU BEEN LYIN' THROUGH
YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIE RIGHT
CAUSE I KNOW WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT
DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT FLAT TIRE, WASN'T NEAR A PHONE
OUT OF GAS, DIDN'T HAVE A QUARTER, COULDN'T CALL HOME
THAT OLD LINE WON'T WORK ON ME
HONEY I KNOW YOU TOO WELL
YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIE RIGHT BOY
CAUSE IT'S THE LAST ONE YOU'RE GONNA TELL
SHE SAID, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED BY A UFO
OR HAD A RUN IN WITH THE LAW
OR BEEN CHASED THROUGH THE WOODS ALL NIGHT LONG
BY A PSYCHO WITH A CHAINSAW
YEAH YOU COULD HAVE GONE OUT ON A GOOD ONE
BUT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE BRAINS
GUESS YOUR BODY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE NOTHIN'
THAT YOUR BIG MOUTH COULDN'T EXPLAIN
YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIE RIGHT
CAUSE I KNOW WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT
DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT FLAT TIRE, WASN'T NEAR A PHONE
OUT OF GAS, DIDN'T HAVE A QUARTER, COULDN'T CALL HOME
THAT OLD LINE WON'T WORK ON ME
HONEY I KNOW YOU TOO WELL
YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN UP AND LIE RIGHT BOY
CAUSE IT'S THE LAST ONE YOU'RE GONNA TELL
