Only Joking
Remember I made you eat crab apple
And you were sick for a week
Then I stuffed your sucky up the chimney
'Till you cried for a week
Then I killed your canary with the hair dryer
And I 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 every one you went all the way
With that fella from Artane
And all the blokes shouted '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 favourite jeans
Took them in and cut them at the seams
So they'd fit me
You went ballistic when I called your boyfriend
Canker 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
Oh dear
Solo Bromeaba
Recuerda que te hice comer manzana de cangrejo
Y estuviste enferma por una semana
Luego metí tu chupete por la chimenea
Hasta que lloraste por una semana
Después maté a tu canario con el secador de pelo
Y te golpeé solo para verte morada y azul
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
No pretendía lastimarte todos esos años
Pensé que realmente eran lágrimas de risa
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
Oh querida
Recuerda que le dije a todos que habías ido hasta el final
Con ese tipo de Artane
Y todos los chicos gritaban 'siete estrellas'
Cuando íbamos camino a Misa con Mamá
Luego, para empeorar las cosas, cuando te sonrojaste
Te llamé cabeza de remolacha y tomate
Morado y rojo
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
No pretendía lastimarte todos estos años
Pensé que realmente eran lágrimas de risa
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
Recuerda que presté tus jeans favoritos
Los ajusté y los corté en las costuras
Para que me quedaran bien
Te volviste histérica cuando llamé a tu novio
Cabeza de úlcera y hice ceniceros con tus discos de Bread
Bueno, qué más da
Tú te vengaste
Morado y negro
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
No pretendía lastimarte todos estos años
Pensé que realmente eran lágrimas de risa
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
No pretendía lastimarte todos esos años
Pensé que realmente eran lágrimas de risa
Solo bromeaba, mi querida
Oh querida
