No Jestering Songtext
von Patti Smith

Lenny Kaye is gonna do a reggae song
Hey Lenny, how do you spell New York? (Hey)
A knife, a fork, a bottle and a cork
I like to send this out to Miss Revenge, whoever she is (whoa)
That bitch!
Jean′s mother said that I should leave her alone
But how can I do that when I want her for my own?
I've watched her change from toys to boys, and now she is my size
So how can I convince her now that she should be my bride?

Mama, I love your daughter
No jestering
No one could make me leave her
No jestering

So, you can tell her anything you want
But I′ll never let her out of my sight
Tell her for me, she's not my kind
But one day she's gonna be my wife


Mommy, I love your daughter
No jestering
No one could make me leave her
No jestering

Told me I should wait until 21
But how can I do that when I′m a very impatient man?
You can lock the door long before the horse has made his getaway
I don′t believe in promises 'cause promises don′t cure my belief

So, you can tell her anything you want
'Cause I′ll never let her out of my sight
Tell her for me, she's not my kind
But one day she′s gonna be my wife

Mommy, I love your daughter
No jestering
No one could make me leave her
No jestering

I said mommy, I love your daughter
No jestering
No one could make me leave her
No jestering
No jestering, no jestering (can Mrs Revenge be found?)
