	Story Behind the Song This is a whimsical look at the modern version of The Truth -- that is, partial facts with whatever spin can be imparted. Lyrics My mother came from Venus; my dad, from beyond the stars, Was appointed by the President, Ambassador to Mars. My Brother married Madonna after only just two dates. My sister owns the Internet. Well, her and Mr. Gates. And that's the truth as we know it If there's money in the pickin’ You know someone is gonna grow it It’s the truth as I live and die… But don’t quote me and don’t print it I’ll just swear that it’s a lie Back when I was younger and I taught Bob Wills to play I wrote a song called “Faded Love” but gave the rights away Made up a dance they call the two step, I taught Sinatra how to sing, I gave Django his first geetar Then showed Basie how to swing. It’s the truth as we know it If there’s money in the pickin’ Then someone is gonna grow it It’s the truth as I live and die… But don’t quote me and don’t print it I’ll just swear that it’s a lie And when I wrote the Bible but was wrapped up in the edit I made the first electric light, but ol' Edison took the credit Just like he did for talking pictures. And you might have seen this comin’ But once more, for the record, folks: “I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN” That's the truth as we know it If there's money in the pickin’ Someone is gonna grow it It’s the truth as I live and die… But don’t quote me and don’t print it ‘cause I’ll swear that it’s a lie
