From the recording Shiva Me Timbers
Lyrics
Only Teasing
I’m only teasing
He said
When he hid the child’s toy
But there was no laughter, for that little boy
He’s just teasing
She asked
Please tell me I’m right
For the things of which he speaks will wake me at night
Just kidding
I’m joking
Not really, they know
The grinning and winking
Don’t soften the blow
They say a jest betrays something serious
How far can he push it, I’m curious
Please stop teasing
She begged
Tears shone in her eyes
Is he telling the truth? Is he telling me lies?
Only teasing
He thought
But he took it too far
She packed up her things. Took the dog, took the kid, took the car
Just kidding
I’m joking
Not really, they know
The grinning and winking
Don’t soften the blow
No kidding
No joking
Got nothing to say
Just pass me a bottle
It’s better that way
Just kidding
I’m joking
Not really, they know
The grinning and winking
Don’t soften the blow
No kidding
No joking
I’ll try it some day
But now look behind you
While I run away
No kidding
No joking
But what can I do
That bag is on fire
Put it out with your shoe
No kidding
No joking
Now have a seat here
You fall on your back
As I pull out your chair
