And the rhyme and a little bit of lore with it…
LIAR, LIAR – “Liar, liar, pants on fire, hang them up on telephone wire.
(Said to a lying child)” This is a “derisive rhyme” used by children. “Tradition teaches the child to use sayings in certain situations to make a point emphatically. Such sayings can provide a quick and easy response to the taunt of another child, or a powerful demonstration of the child’s stand. The sayings contain a collective wisdom that exerts a certain amount of pressure on children. In other cases, sayings offer a form of play with words; children use the traditional structure of such sayings to play with the rhythm, rhyme, and meaning of words to draw attention to themselves.”
From this website http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/92841 They have more than 14 answers to this questions there, but some of them are just conjecture…lol…
Hope this helps a bit.
Blessings to you!

Liar, liar pants on fire, can t jump over a telephone wire. That is how I learned it. The reason the pants on fire rhyme started is because kids used to get their butts whipped for lying and by the time it was done, they felt like their pants were on fire.
