Perhaps the best known taunt of them all has several different second lines:
Liar, liar, pants on fire
sitting on a telephone wire
ALternate second lines include:
Hang them on a telephone wire
and
Nose as long as a telephone wire.
All go back to at least the early 1940s. I suspect that "nose as long as a telephone wire" is the "original," if only because it makes the most sense.
