I'll Take the Fifth
Polite warnings and defiant denials,
Fat little fingers clutching checkerboard tiles
Bitter accusations, frozen two-faced smiles
I refuse to take part in this emotional witch trial
Boring board games only breed distraction
Winning won't bring either of us any closer to satisfaction
The price is steep, so is the cliff
No, no, my little duckie, I'll take the fifth... I'll take the fifth
Sometimes you act so mature, sometimes like a real adult
So why am I on the floor adding compliment to insult?
You want to make a settlement, but you've got no case
Even those innocent eyes cannot hide that guilty face
Boring board games only breed distraction
Winning won't bring either of us any closer to satisfaction
You're so cheap, even the waitress got stiffed
No, no, my little duckie, I'll take the fifth... I'll take the fifth
She wonders why I'm always so tired
She asks me to tell her exactly what here might have changed
And when I told her my library card had expired
She didn't believe me, but, everything else was the same
Boring board games only breed distraction
Winning won't bring either of us any closer to satisfaction
The price is steep, so is the cliff,
You're so cheap, even the waitress got stiffed
You're lucky, but maybe you're not so swift,
No, no, my little duckie, I'll take the fifth... I'll take the fifth
Fat little fingers clutching checkerboard tiles
Bitter accusations, frozen two-faced smiles
I refuse to take part in this emotional witch trial
Boring board games only breed distraction
Winning won't bring either of us any closer to satisfaction
The price is steep, so is the cliff
No, no, my little duckie, I'll take the fifth... I'll take the fifth
Sometimes you act so mature, sometimes like a real adult
So why am I on the floor adding compliment to insult?
You want to make a settlement, but you've got no case
Even those innocent eyes cannot hide that guilty face
Boring board games only breed distraction
Winning won't bring either of us any closer to satisfaction
You're so cheap, even the waitress got stiffed
No, no, my little duckie, I'll take the fifth... I'll take the fifth
She wonders why I'm always so tired
She asks me to tell her exactly what here might have changed
And when I told her my library card had expired
She didn't believe me, but, everything else was the same
Boring board games only breed distraction
Winning won't bring either of us any closer to satisfaction
The price is steep, so is the cliff,
You're so cheap, even the waitress got stiffed
You're lucky, but maybe you're not so swift,
No, no, my little duckie, I'll take the fifth... I'll take the fifth
