A hypocrite and liar both keep up a fuss,

Dey both very bad, but a liar’s the wuss;

He’ll come to yo’ house in powerful rush,

Say, “I can’t stay long for I must go to my work,

I jes’ come to tell you what somebody say.”

Then he’ll take a seat an’ stay all day.

He’ll tell you some things that’ll cause you to pout,

Then at las’ he’ll force you out.

He knows that he owes you, an’ if you ask him for pay,

He’ll fall out wid you and stay away.
