Still another one-hit wonder: Minneapolis punkers the Castaways took this

rant to #12 in October, 1965. Dave Marsh: 'Twenty years later, Prince

came out of the same town with two-finger organ riffs that surpassed

this one, but it took that long to beat 'em.' -- AWR

Liar, liar, pants on fire

Verse 3:

If you keep on tellin' me those lies

Still goin' out with other guys

There'll come a day I'll be gone

Take my advice, won't be long

Verse 4:

When that day comes, won't be mad

Be free of you, but I'll still be sad

In spite of your cheatin', still love you so

I'll be unhappy if I let you go

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro; end cold on C]
