《Soliloquy》歌词

[00:00:00] Soliloquy-Frank Sinatra

[00:00:08] I wonder what think he'll of me

[00:00:12] I guess he'll call me the "old man"

[00:00:17] I guess he'll think I can lick

[00:00:19] Every other feller's father

[00:00:22] Well, I can!

[00:00:29] I bet that he'll turn out to be

[00:00:33] The spitting image of his dad

[00:00:37] But he'll have more common sense

[00:00:39] Than his puddin-headed father ever had

[00:00:47] I'll teach him to wrassle

[00:00:49] And dive through a wave

[00:00:50] When we go in the morning for our swim

[00:00:54] His mother can teach him

[00:00:55] The way to behave

[00:00:57] But she won't make a sissy out o' him

[00:01:01] Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill!

[00:01:12] My boy , Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.

[00:01:20] My boy, Bill! He'll be tall

[00:01:23] And tough as a tree, will Bill!

[00:01:28] Like a tree he'll grow

[00:01:30] With his head held high

[00:01:32] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:01:36] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:01:40] To boss or toss him around!

[00:01:43] No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around

[00:01:54] Don't give I a damn what he does

[00:01:56] As long as he does what he likes!

[00:01:58] He can sit on his tail

[00:01:59] Or work on a rail

[00:02:00] A hammer, With hammering spikes!

[00:02:03] He can ferry a boat on a river

[00:02:05] Or peddle a pack on his back

[00:02:07] Or work up and down

[00:02:09] The streets of a town

[00:02:10] With a whip and a horse and a hack

[00:02:12] He can haul a scow along a canal

[00:02:18] Run a cow around a corral

[00:02:23] Or maybe bark for a carousel

[00:02:27] Of course it takes talent to do that well

[00:02:34] He might be a champ of theheavyweights

[00:02:36] Or a feller that sells you glue

[00:02:38] Or President of the United States

[00:02:44] That'd be all right, too

[00:02:50] His mother would like that

[00:02:51] But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be

[00:02:54] Not Bill!

[00:02:56] My boy, Bill! He'll be tall

[00:02:59] And as tough as a tree, will Bill

[00:03:03] Like a tree he'll grow

[00:03:05] With his head held high

[00:03:07] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:03:11] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:03:15] To boss or toss him around!

[00:03:19] No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard'll boss

[00:03:26] Him around

[00:03:34] And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter

[00:03:38] A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water

[00:03:41] Who'll give him a peck

[00:03:43] And call it a kiss

[00:03:45] And look in his eyes through a lorgnet

[00:03:51] Say, why am I talking on like this?

[00:03:55] My kid ain't even been yet!born,

[00:03:59] I can see him when he's seventeen or so

[00:04:07] And starting to go with a girl

[00:04:16] I can give him lots of pointers, very sound

[00:04:22] On the way to get 'round any girl

[00:04:32] I can tell him ...

[00:04:36] Wait a minute!

[00:04:39] Could it be?

[00:04:41] What the hell!

[00:04:44] If he What is a girl?

[00:04:54] You can have fun with a son

[00:04:57] But you got to be a father to a girl

[00:05:07] She mighn't be so bad at that

[00:05:12] A kid with ribbons in her hair!

[00:05:16] A kind o' neat and petite

[00:05:19] Little tin-type of her mother!

[00:05:22] What a pair!

[00:05:31] My little girl

[00:05:35] Pink and white

[00:05:38] As peaches and cream is she

[00:05:43] My little girl

[00:05:46] Is half again as bright

[00:05:50] As girls are meant to be!

[00:05:57] Dozens of boys pursue her

[00:06:03] Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her

[00:06:14] From her faithful dad

[00:06:21] She has a few

[00:06:24] Pink and white young fellers of two and three

[00:06:32] But little my girl

[00:06:35] Gets hungry every night and she come home to me!

[00:06:57] I got to get ready before she comes!

[00:07:03] I got to make certain that she

[00:07:08] Won't be dragged up in slums

[00:07:10] With a lot o' bums like me

[00:07:18] She's got to be sheltered

[00:07:21] And be dressed in the best money can buy!

[00:07:27] I never knew how to get money

[00:07:32] But, I'll try, by God! I'll try!

[00:07:38] I'll go out and make it or steal it

[00:07:45] Or take it or die!
