《I’m an Ordinary Man》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm an Ordinary Man - Jimmy Serino Company

[00:00:03] I'm an ordinary man

[00:00:06] Who desires nothing more than

[00:00:08] Just this ordinary chance

[00:00:11] To live exactly as he likes

[00:00:13] And do precisely what he wants

[00:00:15] An average man am I of no eccentric whim

[00:00:20] Who likes to live his life free of strife

[00:00:23] Doing whatever he thinks is best for him

[00:00:28] Just an ordinary man

[00:00:33] But let a woman in your life

[00:00:37] And your serenity is through

[00:00:40] She'll redecorate your home

[00:00:41] From the cellar to the dome

[00:00:42] And then go on to the enthralling fun

[00:00:45] Of overhauling you

[00:00:48] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:00:51] And you're up against a wall

[00:00:53] Make a plan and you will find

[00:00:55] She has something else in mind

[00:00:56] And so rather than do either you do something else

[00:00:58] That neither likes at all

[00:01:02] You want to talk of Keats and Milton

[00:01:04] She only wants to talk of love

[00:01:07] You go to see a play or ballet

[00:01:10] And spend it searching for her glove

[00:01:12] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:01:15] And you invite eternal strife

[00:01:18] Let them buy their wedding bands

[00:01:21] For those anxious little hands

[00:01:23] I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling

[00:01:26] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:01:31] I'm a very gentle man

[00:01:34] Even tempered and good natured

[00:01:37] Who you never hear complain

[00:01:39] Who has the milk of human kindness

[00:01:41] By the quart in every vein

[00:01:44] A patient man am I down to my fingertips

[00:01:48] The sort who never could ever would

[00:01:51] Let an insulting remark escape his lips

[00:01:56] Just an ordinary gentle man

[00:02:02] But Let a woman in your life

[00:02:05] And patience hasn't got a chance

[00:02:08] She will beg you for advice your reply will be concise

[00:02:11] And she will listen very nicely and then go out

[00:02:13] And do exactly what she wants

[00:02:16] You are a man of grace and polish

[00:02:19] Who never spoke above a hush

[00:02:22] All at once you're using language

[00:02:24] That would make a sailor blush

[00:02:27] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:02:30] And you're plunging in a knife

[00:02:33] Let the others of my sex tie

[00:02:35] The knot around their necks

[00:02:37] I prefer a new edition of the Spanish inquisition

[00:02:40] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:02:46] I'm a quiet living man

[00:02:49] Who prefers to spend the evening

[00:02:51] In the silence of his room

[00:02:53] Who likes an atmosphere

[00:02:55] As restful as an undiscovered tomb

[00:02:58] A pensive man am I of philosophical joys

[00:03:02] Who likes to meditate contemplate

[00:03:06] Free for humanities mad in human noise

[00:03:11] Just a quiet living man

[00:03:17] But let a woman in your life

[00:03:20] And your sabbatical is through

[00:03:23] In a line

[00:03:24] That never ends comes an army of her friends

[00:03:26] Come to jabber and to chatter

[00:03:27] And to tell her what the matter is with you

[00:03:31] She'll have a booming boisterous family

[00:03:34] Who will descend on you uh mass

[00:03:37] She'll have a large Wagnerian mother

[00:03:39] With a voice that shatters glass

[00:03:42] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:03:45] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:03:48] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:03] I shall never let a woman in my life
