I—am an honest man I—despise a lie For any reason, Any reason at all— Except— Perhaps to save the feelings Of someone you love… …And there are times, you know When it just doesn’t matter— When no harm is done Or the harm is so small And the benefit so great That a lie is ok I mean, then it’s hardly any lie at all. No lie, no? Yes, then yes— I—am an honest man
