《Soliloquy》歌词

[00:00:00] Soliloquy (From "Carousel") - John Raitt/Benny Goodman (本尼·古得曼)

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

[00:00:13] 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

[00:00:28] I bet that he'll turn out to be

[00:00:32] The spittin' image of his dad

[00:00:36] But he'll have more common sense

[00:00:38] Than his puddin-headed father ever had

[00:00:44] I'll teach him to wrestle

[00:00:45] And dive through a wave

[00:00:47] When we go in the mornin's for our swim

[00:00:49] His mother can teach him

[00:00:51] The way to behave

[00:00:52] But she won't make a sissy out o' him

[00:00:55] Not him Not my boy Not Bill

[00:01:09] My boy Bill

[00:01:11] I will see that he is named after me I will

[00:01:17] My boy Bill He'll be tall

[00:01:20] And tough as a tree will Bill

[00:01:24] Like a tree he'll grow

[00:01:26] With his head held high

[00:01:28] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:01:32] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:01:36] To boss or toss him around

[00:01:39] No pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully

[00:01:43] Will boss him around

[00:01:48] I don't give a hang what he does

[00:01:50] As long as he does what he likes

[00:01:52] He can sit on his tail

[00:01:53] Or work on a rail

[00:01:54] With a hammer hammering spikes

[00:01:57] He can ferry a boat on a river

[00:01:59] Or peddle a pack on his back

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

[00:02:01] The streets of a town

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

[00:02:04] He can haul a scow along a canal

[00:02:07] Run a cow around a corral

[00:02:10] Or maybe bark for a carousel

[00:02:14] Of course it takes talent to do that well

[00:02:22] He might be a champ of the heavyweights

[00:02:23] Or a feller that sells you glue

[00:02:25] Or President of the United States

[00:02:29] That'd be all right too

[00:02:33] His mother would like that

[00:02:34] But he wouldn't be President if he didn't wanna be

[00:02:37] Not Bill

[00:02:39] My boy Bill He'll be tall

[00:02:41] And as tough as a tree will Bill

[00:02:46] Like a tree he'll grow

[00:02:48] With his head held high

[00:02:50] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:02:54] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:02:58] To boss him or toss him around

[00:03:01] No fat-bottomed flabby-faced

[00:03:04] Pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully

[00:03:06] Will boss him around

[00:03:13] And I'm hanged if he'll marry his boss' daughter

[00:03:16] A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water

[00:03:19] Who'll give him a peck

[00:03:20] And call it a kiss

[00:03:21] And look in his eyes through a lorgnette

[00:03:26] Hey why am I talkin' on like this

[00:03:30] My kid ain't even been born yet

[00:03:33] I can see him when he's seventeen or so

[00:03:39] And startin' to go with a girl

[00:03:44] I can give him lots of pointers very sound

[00:03:49] On the way to get 'round any girl

[00:03:56] I can tell him

[00:04:00] Wait a minute

[00:04:02] Could it be

[00:04:04] What the hell

[00:04:06] What if waht if he is a girl

[00:04:11] A girl

[00:04:14] What would I do with her

[00:04:16] What could I do for her

[00:04:18] A bum with no money

[00:04:21] You can have fun with a son

[00:04:23] But you gotta be a father to a girl

[00:04:33] She mightn't be so bad at that

[00:04:36] A kid with ribbons in her hair

[00:04:41] A kind o' sweet and petite

[00:04:43] Little tin-type of her mother

[00:04:46] What a pair

[00:05:27] My little girl

[00:05:29] Pink and white

[00:05:31] As peaches and cream is she

[00:05:36] My little girl

[00:05:38] Is half again as bright

[00:05:42] As girls are meant to be

[00:05:47] Dozens of boys pursue her

[00:05:52] Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her

[00:06:02] From her faithful dad

[00:06:08] She has a few

[00:06:10] Pink and white young fellers of two or three

[00:06:18] But my little girl

[00:06:20] Gets hungry every night and she comes home to me

[00:06:37] I got to get ready before she comes

[00:06:41] I got to make certain that she

[00:06:44] Won't be dragged up in slums

[00:06:46] With a lot o' bums like me

[00:06:51] She's got to be sheltered

[00:06:53] In a fair hand dressed

[00:06:55] In the best that money can buy

[00:06:58] I never knew how to get money

[00:07:01] But I'll try I'll try I'll try

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

[00:07:12] Or take it or die
