lyrics

Hey now, JoJo’s dancing underground now
Hay now, He ain’t got nowhere to go
He’s just trying to stay afloat with his friend Nina Simone
Ain’t got time for making jokes or blowing kisses to the folks

Liar liar set your world on fire, there’s people listening to your telephone wire
They see no evil like you Richard Pryor. They hear no evil Gene Wilder

Ya his doctor made the call, Doctor to take down his disco ball
Doctor now he’s one less yes yes, y’all Doctor, silver streaking through the hall, Doctor

Liar liar set your world on fire, there’ people listening to your telephone wire
They see no evil like you Richard Pryor. They hear no evil Gene Wilder

They say on the day I was born I took an oath to set the world on fire
And yet I could’ve sworn my Mama taught me how to spot a liar

Liar liar set your world on fire, there’s people listening to your telephone wire
They see no evil like you Richard Pryor. They hear no evil… like Gene Wilder

Lair liar set your world on fire, there’s people listening to your telephone wire
Like you Richard Pryor. They hear no evil like… Gene Wilder

Gene Wilder, Gene Wilder, Gene Wilder
