Yes

I surrender
I confess
The whole damn thing
Is a bit of a mess

I didn't mean it
What I said
(If looks could kill
I'd be dead)

(Actually, I did mean it
Because it's true
Though it would have been sensible
To lie to you)

I should have stayed silent
Given truth a miss
"Does my bahooky*
look big in this?"



*A bahooky or bahookie, is Scottish for one's backside/bottom/bum.
A typical Scottish mother would shout to her wayward child "I'll skelp (smack) yer bahookie if you don't stop that nonsense!"
