Lockjaw's Warning: The Tale of Truth and Consequences
Lyrics
Look out children
Warning to children to be cautious
Mothers hide all the children who lie
Mothers advised to protect lying children
Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail
Lockjaw, an ogre, is approaching with a rusty nail
He's gonna nail your mouth open wide
Lockjaw intends to forcefully open mouths using the nail
Look out children
Repeated warning to children to be alert
Boys and girls who do falsify
Boys and girls who lie are being cautioned
From the Black Forest with a hammerhead
Lockjaw is from the Black Forest and has a hammerhead
He's looking for you with a rusty eye
He's searching with an intent to punish using a rusty eye
In the Black Forest, lives an ogre named Lockjaw. Lockjaw doesn't like children
Explanation of Lockjaw's hatred towards lying children
Who tell lies. Late at night he stalks the houses of the fibbers and the
Lockjaw targets houses of dishonest children
Falsifiers, and before they can cry out from their beds, he nails their jaws
Lockjaw inflicts punishment on liars before they react
Open with a rusty nail, using his head for a hammer. You may escape him for a
Details of how Lockjaw uses a nail to open mouths
While and think you fooled him, but he'll get you in the end. He'll get ya!
Even if one thinks they've escaped, Lockjaw will eventually catch them
He'll get ya!!
Emphasis on Lockjaw's determination to punish liars
Lockjaw's coming
Reiteration of Lockjaw's impending arrival
Hide your heads, all you lying children
Advice to lying children to hide
Mothers hide all your lying children
Mothers urged again to protect dishonest children
Fathers hide all your lying children
Fathers too instructed to safeguard lying children
Look out mothers
Caution to mothers about lying to gullible children
Telling lies to a gullible child
Lockjaw's approach if fathers lie to their children
Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail
Repeated warning of Lockjaw's arrival with a nail
He's gonna nail your mouth open wide
Reiteration of Lockjaw's intention to forcefully open mouths

Warning to fathers regarding falsifying
Teachers and leaders who do falsify
Teachers and leaders cautioned against dishonesty
From the Black Forest with a hammerhead
Reiteration of Lockjaw's origin and method of punishment
He's looking for you with a rusty eye
Lockjaw's pursuit with an intent to punish using a rusty eye
Many people wonder "Could such a terrible tale be true? Who would make up such
Speculation on the credibility of the terrifying story
A terrible tale?" It seems such a cruel punishment for such a tiny little lie
Questioning the severity of the punishment for a small lie
Well, I've got to confess. It's a fib. I made it up myself. It's pretty funny
Admission that the story is fabricated and meant to be humorous
Don't you think? Ha, ha ha! Gag, gag, gag!
Expression of amusement and humor at the fabricated story
