Look out children

Mothers hide all the children who lie

Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail

He's gonna nail your mouth open wide

Look out children

Boys and girls who do falsify

From the Black Forest with a hammerhead

He's looking for you with a rusty eye



In the Black Forest, lives an ogre named Lockjaw. Lockjaw doesn't like children

who tell lies. Late at night he stalks the houses of the fibbers and the

falsifiers, and before they can cry out from their beds, he nails their jaws

open with a rusty nail, using his head for a hammer. You may escape him for a

while and think you fooled him, but he'll get you in the end. He'll get ya!

HE'LL GET YA!!



Lockjaw's coming

Hide your heads, all you lying children

Mothers hide all your lying children

Fathers hide all your lying children



Look out mothers

Telling lies to a gullible child

Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail

He'gonna nail your mouth open wide

Look out Fathers

Teachers and leaders who do falsify

From the Black Forest with a hammerhead

He's looking for you with a rusty eye



Many people wonder "Could such a terrible tail be true? Who would make up such

a terrible tale?" It seems such a cruel punishment for such a tiny little lie.

Well, I've got to confess. It's a fib. I made it up myself. It's pretty funny,

don't you think? Ha, ha ha! Gag, gag, gag
