Teasin'

Teasin'
Composer(s): Richard Adler - Philip Springer
Performer(s): Petula Clark



Mummy told me she would scold me
if a boy I kissed
But I can't resist teasin'
Always gets `em, it upsets `em
But what can I do
`cause it's all so new, teasin'

Now the good book says that nothing repays
The harm a life of sin does
But I must confide, we can't decide
Till we find what it is that Errol Flynn does

Mummy told me she would scold me
if a boy I kissed
But I can't resist teasin'

At the riding school, the teacher was cool
And he seemed a harmless person
But after the ride he took me aside
And was I glad I kept my spurs on

Always gets `em, it upsets `em
But what can I do
`cause it's all so new, teasin'

There's a boy I like who likes to hike
But in no uncertain language
I refused to stop when he said he'd drop
If he didn't have a nibble at my corned beef sandwich

Mummy told me she would scold me
if a boy I kissed
But I can't resist teasin'

Now it's love that makes this world go round
`cause we all love hanky-panky (Do ya)
Keep one eye on an Englishman
But you'd better keep two on a gosh-darned Yankee

Always gets `em, it upsets `em
But when day is done
Where's the bloomin' fun
In teasin'
On a moonlight night
When the stars shine bright
Somehow Mama don't seem so right
`cause, faith, it's all so pleasin'
