ada jones - cross my heart and hope to die lyrics
[verse 1]
now, something must be wrong with me
i grew on someone’s lemon tree
i’ve been the most unlucky kid
punished for things i never did
i’m nearly everybody’s goat
my teacher sends my ma a note
and i told her things were not true
she says i’ve been lying, too
[chorus]
cross my heart and hope to die
if i ever, ever told a lie
fibbing sends you, teacher said
to the bad place when you’re dead
washington, he never lied
though he chopped the tree
ma, she got so angry when she missed her angel cake
gee, i couldn’t say a word about my tummy ache
’cause i never, never told a lie
cross my heart and hope to die
[verse 2]
my sister susie’s got a beau
he said he’d like her age, to know
he gave me half a dollar, too
to tell him if eighteen was true
i had to laugh, i think he’s great
i told him susie’s twenty+eight
and that’s the truth
he said, ‘you flim!’
and gee, he hasn’t been back since
[chorus]
cross my heart and hope to die
if i ever, ever told a lie
fibbing sends you, teacher said
to the bad place when you’re dead
washington, he never lied
though he chopped the tree
sister susie got so mad
she gave an awful look
but i know she’s twenty+eight
it’s in our family book
and i never, never told a lie
cross my heart and hope to die
