Lyrics:

I was born about ten thousand years ago
In Bellmullet in the County of Mayo
It was me that chased the vermin, while St. Patrick preached the sermon
And I'll whoop the man that says it isn't so

Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee
You'll never find a bigger liar than me
And you might search until you tire, you'll never find a nicer liar
I've been lying since the dawn of history

Now I saw Eve take the apple from the tree
She came over and she offered it to me
Well I turned and I said, "Madam, go try your luck with Adam
I'm going home to have me fish and chips for tea."

Then I saw Delilah cuttin' Samson's hair
She clipped away until his head was bare
When he couldn't run away, she married him next day
And they opened up a barber shop in Clare

Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee
You'll never find a better liar than me
And you might search until you tire, you'll never find a bigger liar
I've been lying since the dawn of history

Now back in World War II I saw them all
I saw Roosevelt and Churchill and De Gaulle
But Jesus Christ! I nearly fainted, I was having my house painted
There was Hitler hanging paper in the hall

Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee
You'll never find a smarter liar than me
Now you might search until you tire, you'll never find a bigger liar
I've been lying since the dawn of history

Now in Donoghue's in 1962
Well I was singing with Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew
Luke he said, 'Your singing's grand, let's form a ballad band"
So a great big hairy beard I went and grew

Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee
You'll never find a better liar than me
Now you might search until you tire, you'll never find a bigger liar
I've been lying since the dawn of history
