    Only Joking

    by: Rhatigan

    Remember I made you eat crab apple
    And you were sick for a week
    Then I stuck your sucky up the chimney
    'Till you cried for a week
    Then I killed your canary with the hair dryer
    And kicked you just to see you bruise
    Purple and blue
    I was only joking my dear
    Didn't mean to hurt you all those years
    Thought that they were really laughter tears
    I was only joking my dear
    Oh dear
    Remember I told everyone you went all the way
    With that fella from Artane
    And all the blokes called you Seven Stars
    When we were on our way to Mass with Ma
    Then to make matters worse when you blushed
    I called you beetrout and tomato head
    Purple and red
    I was only joking my dear
    Didn't mean to hurt you all these years
    Thought that they were really laughter tears
    I was only joking my dear
    Remember I borrowed your favorite jeans
    Took them in and cut them at the seams
    So they'd fit me
    You went ballistic when I called your boyfriend
    Chancre head and made ashtrays from your
    Bread records...
    Oh well, what the hell, you got your own back
    Purple and black
    I was only joking my dear
    Didn't mean to hurt you all these years
    Thought that they were really laughter tears
    I was only joking my dear
    I was only joking my dear
    Didn't mean to hurt you all those years
    Thought that they were really laughter tears
    I was only joking my dear
