That Was a Big Fat Lie
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne
Recorded by Doris Day, 1948
From the movie "Romance on the High Seas"
Am E7 Am7 G/B C Am7 Em7 Cdim
I kind of believed you when you said your nights were lone - ly
G D9 G G/F# A
Until the day that I came by;
C Bm7 C C/B D9 Cdim
But when you whispered that I was your one and on - ly,
C Am7 D7
That was a big fat lie.
Am E7 Am7 G/B C Am7 Em7 Cdim
I should have been wiser than I was, and seen right through you,
G D9 G G/F# A
But the moon got in my eye;
C Bm7 C C/B D9 Cdim
That stuff about I never lived until I knew you,
C Cdim G
That was a big fat lie.
D7/9 Em B7 Cdim Em B7
You must have started to fib when you were wearing a bib
Cdim G Em7 Am7 Edim G
And such a hab - it's hard to break;
E7 A E Fdim A E
A little lie is okay, but when you lie night and day,
E7 Am Am7 D7
That's more than even I can take.
Am E7 Am7 G/B C Am7 Em7 Cdim
You told me we oughta marry, and I let you sway me,
G D9 G G/F# A
Kissed my happy days good - bye;
C Bm7 C C/B D9 Cdim
And when you told that man you'd honor and o - bey me,
C Am Cdim D D7 G
That, baby, was a big fat lie.
Spoken:
Lets face it you're no George Washington
C C/B Am7 Am7/G Bm7 Bm7-5 E
An over exaggeration of a super pre - var - i - ca - tion --
Edim Am7 D7 G
Just a big fat lie.
