I Can't Tell a Lie - Fred Astaire, Bob Crosby, Ирвинг Берлин

I could say that you’re homely

Just as homely as pie

But this is Washington’s Birthday

And I’ve got to say you’re beautiful

'Cause I can’t tell a lie

I could say that you’re stupid

Nothing up in your crown

But this is Washington’s Birthday

And the truthful he Of the cherry tree

Would look down on me And frown

I could say that I hate you if I try

But I’ve got to say I love you

'Cause it’s February the twenty-second

And I can’t tell a lie
