To Tell the Truth
It happened to be several decades ago,
when Goodson and Todman came up with a game show.
Two imposters appeared with someone who was real.
An interesting story one contestant would reveal.
Four panelists attempted to guess the storyteller’s identity.
They had to distinguish the truth from mendacity.
The three contestants would answer each panelist’s query.
The panel of celebrities made a choice of one of the three.
Wrong guesses made the contestants some money.
The show was very popular in an earlier day.
I don’t know if new shows are in syndication today.
