Popik's earliest attestation is from 1941, with the "your nose" variant, though he also turned up a pantsless version from 1937: "Liar, liar, your tongue's on fire!" I also found repeated, numerous times, a completely bogus origin of the phrase.
This website indicates that the phrase, with its subsequent "hanging on a telephone wire," is a paraphrase of the 1810 poem, "The Liar," by William Blake. While that may be the answer, I suspect there may be an older origin lurking about. What after all, inspired Blake to refer to trousers on fire?
